Traquair Jacobite Ale

Traquair Jacobite Ale | Wee Heavy | 8% ABV: Brewed in a traditional manner and fermented in old oak tuns. Check out their process, it is quite cool.

An extremely dark ruby ale with low retention & lacing. Very nice aromatics with herbal, malty and sweet aromas. The taste is predominately fruity and herbal with some caramel/dark malt flavor. Thin for such a high abv, smooth to drink with silky carbonation. Finishes with a light bitterness and a tad sticky. Overall quite refreshing and interesting.
