Aroma is smooth and calming, sweet but not sugary. Appears a rich hazy brown with fizzy head, very nice in a tulip glass. Rich, full mouthfeel with all the telltale notes of a good barley wine. Easy to sip, slight burn, great caramel flavors and fine balance. Too damn expensive though.

A bit on the pricey side. Pours a medium brown, aromas are nice with dark fruits being most predominant. I think this one will settle in and in a few years be freakishly good. In the meantime, worth a try.

Let me start by affirming, this one is not worth the price tag. That said, it is a good beer overall. A mahogany colored with a big foamy textured, beige colored head rising above. There’s some hang time. Settles eventually into a thick ringlet. The nose is most bready and brandied. The tasting gives hints of dark fruit and to a more subtle extent, piney hops. A thick, smooth body rounds out this assessment.

11.2 ounces goes a long way. dark ruby brown. full bodied and boozy without quite being hot, but the booziness and sweetness are persistent. not any real hop presence, but a complex conrucopia of dark roasty malts, chocolate, plum/raisin and other dark fruits, with a hint of smoke. kinda like a wee heavy, kinda like a barleywine. good stuff, though I'll have to have another House ale, which i remember being slightly better. this should age well...not til 2020 but for a year or two.

I picked this up at Belmont Station without hesitation after recently approving the beer on BeerPal. Label says it's good until 2020, but I couldn't wait. Nice roasted malt, toffee, chocolate aroma with plenty of dark fruit and hints of green apples. Pours very dark brown with a somewhat small, off-white foam of varying bubble size. Body is quite smooth with great alcohol concealment. Even with a full body it was easy to drink. It's been a heck of a long time since I drank a Traquair House ale, and this one brought back good memories.
