Traquair Jacobite Ale
Traquair Jacobite Ale has been brewed since 1995 and, in my opinion, richly deserves its popularity. This 8% deep, deep red brew has a malty / candy nose that makes you think it'll be a lot sweeter than it actually is. The flavour is predictably malty yet very well-balanced with a dark toffee finish. It's very smooth and, if I dare say this, actually a little under hopped; not that I'm complaining! You can almost taste the two hundred year history of the Traquair House Brewery in this bad boy but I confess I found the claimed presence of coriander somewhat absent. Nonetheless, Highly Recommended!
