Commercial Description:
Brewed by Belhaven for Innis & Gunn
Available filtered and pasteurised in bottles.
"For 30 days this honey-hued beer sleeps in hand selected oak barrels, locked inside a bonded warehouse, gradually assimilating the subtle flavours that reside in the wood. Barrels are then emptied and maturation continues for a further 47 days in a marrying tun where these natural flavours infuse and fall into perfect balance. This 77-day process is unique and produces a delicious, refreshing beer: Aromas of vanilla and toffee, hints of citrus, with a malty, lightly oaked,palate. Deftly balanced and light in texture, soothing and warming in the finish."

Bottle: Color as shown on the left, light head. Nose of vanilla and light wood with some honey and coconut notes. The flavor is smooth with a light sweet honey and vanilla note from the oak. Seems like they tried to get too much barrel into this one, it drowns out whatever base beer was there. Quaffable however.

330ml bottle at Le Mirage in Tromsø. Pours a dark amber body with a slowly fading, off-white foamy head. Aroma in the direction of dark honeyed oak. Malty taste mixed with vanilla and wood. Low, but noticeable bitterness to the finish. Well bodied. Not exactly the perfect drink to meat (19.07.2008).

a right little hopper. Ginger beerish, or marzipan. Also reminds me of fried pre-cooked bangers with tomato tomato sause. A sweet edge is apparent

Clear, coppery orange color with small white head. Aroma is sweet malty with toffee and vanilla. Flavors is oakly, toffy, slightly buttery, sweet malty with floral/grassy hoppiness. Sweet palate is medium-bodied and smoothly carbonated.
