Traquair Jacobite Ale

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,

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.

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.
