Commercial Description:
The famous Bear Gates guarding the approach to Traquair House, near Pebbles, have been closed since 1745 - when the last person to pass through them was Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Now, 250 years later, the ancient Traquair Brew House celebrates the Jacobite cause by producing this potent spiced ale to a traditional fine recipe. Sip slowly and remember the old toast to the "King O'er the Water."

All I can say is WOW, the taste is absolutely amazing! After my 1st experience with this, the search was on to purchase more (thank goodness Merchant DuVin is so accomodating in calling back!) I am waiting patiently for my next bottle. The flavor that arises from this quality ale are amazing, nothing like it I’ve had before, definitely one to keep in my top ten.

dark red brown color. thin head. tremendous aroma with berries , plums,chocolate, caramel and . Lots of malt present but the spices work well to balance the sweetness leaving this both a malty and sharp beer.the coriander spicing is apparent but subtle enough to complement the beer without overpowering it. nice smooth mouthfeel and leaves a lingering taste on the tongue much in the way of a well ages scotch whisky. perfection if not for the price

Basically this is a perfect beer. It has rich flavors, compliments a fine and leaves no bitter aftertaste. This beer has a real sweetness but not sickeningly so. It also has a dark and spicey undertone. It smells wonderfull and smells fantastic. If you could judge purly on appearence and smell this would be number one. However the flavor is also impresive and not only is it the best UK beer by a longshot, it also is perhaps one of the best berrs ever.
