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."

Dark cherry brown with thin head. Aroma is mostly corriander and fruit. Taste is a wonder of complexity. Corriander, pepper, malty sweetness and toasted malt. Very dry, slightly bitter finish. Love it.

The experience starts with a light root beer color pour and a wonderful, nostalgic aroma that reminds me of old time spice stick candy and bazooka bubble gum. There is something else even more telling in there that remains just out of my grasp so I must try again. The flavor was surprisingly simple, a malty sweet flavor without any unpleasantness.

Aroma – Huge malt aroma with very little hops. The spice and sweet aroma come through. Appearance – Black in color, thin head and clear.
Flavor – Great dark roasty malt flavor. Very spicy and dried fruit flavor.
Palate – Nice Mouthfeel, good texture with a dry finish.
Overall – This was a very good traditional dark ale. Very tasty and tons of great malt flavors.

Bottle (best before 2014): pours a dark reddish-brown with a frothy light tan head, aroma of cherry, caramel and malt, (kind of a Belgian beer aroma), taste is malty, chocolate, a bit of the alcohol and spices, leaves a bit of a watery feel in the back of the throat.
