Brewed to celebrate the anniversary of the 1745 Jacobite rebellion the ale proved to be so popular it has become a permanent addition to the range. Based on an eighteenth century recipe the ale is spiced with coriander which gives a remarkably fresh aftertaste.

BOTTLE 33 CL. Clear dark ruby, beige head. Big malty and fruity aroma, molasses, dried and fresh plums, fortified wine. Taste: rich smooth malts with oxidative notes of pelicular wines - dried prunes and a nutty light bitter finish. Would benefit from a little more body and some alcoholic heat too, but otherwise excellent.

Bottle. A- Caramel, grapes, sweet tarts, A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, off white head. T- Grapes, sweet tarts, P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, vinous finish. O- Starts of smelling quite complex but quickly turns to smelling and tasting like grape sweet tarts or grape medicine. Overall, a tasty beer but not as complex as it probably should be. I think the House Ale edges this one out. Coriander is there too.

0.33l bottle. Deep ruby body, thin off-white head. The aroma is quite heavy. It has some caramel, figs, chocolate, sherry and toast to it. Taste of caramel, dates, cherries and chocolate. Sweeter, heavier and a bit more sour than the House Ale. I prefer the other one over this, but it’s still nice.

Bouteille. Nez malté de caramel toffee bien sucré aux notes fumées et terreuses, de réglisse noire, fruité (confitures de prunes sucrées, notes de raisins), épicé (coriandre) et herbeux avec des notes d’alcool doux liquoreux et de chocolat. Rondeur moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture crémeuse et légèrement liquoreuse. Goût fruité très légèrement sûr (prunes et léger de raisins aux notes vineuses avec des notes de pommes vertes et de mûres), assez épicé (coriandre, notes de gomme de pin et de poivre) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût malté de caramel toffee sucré (rôti et notes fumées, notes de bonbon sucré) parallèlement à un goût d’alcool moyen-doux liquoreux, léger de réglisse noire et de chocolat noir qui aboutit à une finale assez herbeuse, un peu sèche de noix et légèrement amère de houblon herbeux (petites notes résineuses) et avec de faibles notes de café. Arrière-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux et d’alcool doux (avec des notes de rôti et de chocolat), avec des notes sèches de noix et une légère aigreur fruitée (moût de prunes, de raisins et pelures de pommes) et épicé.
