Bottle at MacNiven’s. Served in snifter. No head formation even when poured correctly. Black body. Aroma was godly. Berries, liquorice, pear, soy sauce, to name a few. Taste was very complex and very available. I was not sure what coriander tasted like, but since this was brewed with coriander, I will assume the unique flavor I got was that. In addition was raisin, liquorice, and clove. Really sweetened as it warmed. Not very often I’ve had an intense and complex beer be so easy to enjoy. Palate was thick, but had a light quality which did not allow a sticky feel. Very interesting.

Sep 6, 2008 Almost black brown with a touch of amber. Just a streak of lacing, no head at all. Aromas of raisons, coffee, corriander, tamarind. Lightly carbonated. Darkly malty, but not too sweet. Moderately spicy, fig, coffee, cocoa,

Sep 6, 2008 The Jacobite was a very dark wood brown pour. Small foam almond head. Like a spicy root beer although more complex and more character. Nice malt quality, dark fruits but on the low down. Smooth with the spiciness subdued and the ABV just right. Worth a try for sure.

Aug 31, 2008 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.
