Traquair - Jacobite Ale


Jacobite Ale is a Scottish beer brewed in honour of Bonnie Prince Charles. The ingredients list is short and to the point: Strong Beer, Coriander.

This is a smooth dark ale, with herbal, almost medicinal, overtones. It started out interesting, but I got bored of it about half way through the glass. There just wasn't that much going on, and once I identified the medicinal flavour it became a little overwhelming. Not a bad beer per se, but not something that you'll drink more than one bottle of in a sitting.

Four out of seven thumbs up.
