It’s an amazingly rich beer. You meet the complex flavour, rich taste and a palate growing for a long time afterwards. This beer can last for a long time, enjoying all stages for each sip!

33 cl bottle. This is truly an amazing brew from Traquair. Complex and tasty beer with aroma of vanilla and dried fruits. The flavour is extremely enjoyable with chocolate, toffee, dried fruits, raisins and roasted caramel. Slightly better than their magnificent House Ale.

Damm this rocks! Cool black bottle with matching black cap. Give a hit of the dark side! Black with hints of deeps purple with a small head with quickly subsides. This beer has a great balance between butterscotch sweetness and the spicey bitterness, an enduring conflict which just sucks you in. deceptively smooth. brilliiant

Slightly port-like caramel and alchohol aroma. Incredibly subtle yet big. This is full-bodied! Slight coffee, some peat and then caramel and hops sneaking in on the finish.

Bottle. Mahogny with tones of ruby red and a medium-sized khaki head. The nose promises all that is good- chocolate, fruit and roasted caramel. Lightly roasted malts, some coffee, but mostly chocolate and vanilla flavours. Rich, smooth and full-bodied. Life is good.
