Dec 29, 2006 2006 edition (from Waitrose). Brown. On the nose light roasty malts and fruit with earthy hops. Starts out well but phenolic smoky whisky starts to creep in and it doesnt fit. Thin artificial body.

Dec 28, 2006 Bottle from the LCBO. Nice deep copper colour with a small beige head. Aroma has a faint skunkiness (should’ve kept it in the fancy box - damn clear bottle!), but it clears up quickly, revealing nice sweet malt and some vanilla and buttery bourbon notes. Flavour is quite sweet as well, with malt, vanilla and a bit of chocolate, followed by some woodiness and a bit of smoke, and a fresh, slightly citric hop note to finish. Pretty nice stuff, I enjoyed it a fair bit more than the regular version.

Dec 26, 2006 Bottle. Dark copper-brown body with a large foamy off-white head. The aroma is pleasing with sweet biscuity cookies, butterscotch notes, and faint leafy hops. Interesting palate with apparent tartness and leafy hop bitterness. Sweet malt spine including some toast flavours. Kind of weird combination of styles in the end.

Dec 22, 2006 A letdown, found the regular innis and gunn better, just found to be bland and biscuity. I understand that it would have these flavours but was hopeing for so much more

Dec 18, 2006 2006 Edition, Bottle - 330ml. Nice amber/ruby body with good carbonation and an average off-white bubbly head. Pleasant and complex malty/hoppy aroma with oaky, fruity (mainly cherries) and chocolate notes. Alcohol is well hidden. Taste is smoothly balanced. It carries a wonderful mix of barleyish, hoppy and fruity flavors, with oaky and chocolate hints. Ends with a vineous bittersweet finish. Very well done!

Dec 18, 2006 330ml Bottle: Comes in a group purple box with lots of things to read all over it. Even comes with surprisingly accurate tasting notes! Pours orange/brown in colour, good size head, and very nice retention and lacing. The aroma brings lots of chocolate, whiskey, and oak with slighter amounts of citrus. The first sip brings forth the chocolate and then delivers the citrusy hop punch, fading into a taste of that whiskey and oak. As it warms the body becomes very silky, quite smooth, and offers up more citrus including a good orange chase. Very well balanced, complex, and darn tasty. Loved it!
