Creamy off white head on a copper coloured body. Malt, caramel & berry aroma. Medium bodied, smooth thinning out to a dry clean back. Malt, toffee, caramel & berry tastes with a bitter finish. It's alright.

Klar nötbrun färg. Fast skum. Maltig doft med inslag av mandel och kola. Lätt, maltig botten toppat med mandel, hasselnöt och plåt. Lite vass och kantig. Smått parfymaktig.

Flaska från SB. Bärnstensfärgad klar vätska med lågt skum. Nötter, bröd, säd. Mer lik SB eller ESB än old ale i min bok. Torr, lätt fruktig, aprikoser, röda äpplen, rejäl beska. Trevlig och kul med ny öl från Traquair, det händer inte så ofta.

Bottle thanks to Terri, bought at the brewery. Pours a dark amber color with a large off-white head. A sweet nose, toast and caramel. Great palate. Sweet, caramel, mild hop bitterness, marmalade, toffee. Good.
