Commercial Description:
Bottle: Pasteurised.
Brewed by Belhaven for Innis & Gunn
Ingredients: Golden Promise and crystal malt; Phoenix hops.
""""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.""""

Amber/copper color with an off-white head. The oak aroma and flavor gives the sweet vanilla, butter, malt and caramel. A little strong on the aftertaste of the still lingering oak. Different. But different good or different bad.

This beer pours a nice maple brown colour with a small white head. The aroma is good with vanilla and toffee evident. The flavour is somewhat muted but there is hints of butterscotch, vanilla and a woody, whisky taste. Overall it is nothing special but it is unique.

16th August 2008. Clear pale brown beer. Sweet with lots of vanilla and a little oak. Just a touch of hops buried under the vanilla.

This is quite a unique tasting beer. It is thick and syrupy. The flavor is a heavy malt, tasting like hard butterscotch candy. Very sweet, oozing with honey.

Bottle. Clear amber pour with a short lived white head. Aroma has notes of honey, caramel, vanilla, butterscotch and malt. Flavour isn’t as sweet as the aroma but is otherwise almost identical, the vanilla notes imparted by the oak standing out even more. Light bodied, with a smooth mouthfeel and a short dry finish, this is an alright beer but pretty thin for an ESA. Pleasant but wouldn’t drink more than one in a sitting.

bottle. Pale golden amber color, short thick foamy off-white head. Aroma is whiskey and butter, oak chips, some toffee and crystal malt, butterscotch too. Flavor is different, starts dry,woody, and skunky then toffee/crystal malt. Some whiskey & water, lots of carbonation, and a skunkwatery finish. Oaky bitter aftertaste.

330mL bottle - pours golden with a minimal white head. Aroma vanilla, oak and butterscotch. Flavour is a weak combination of these. Slight bitterness at the end. Quite dull / boring for all that’s in it. Drinkable, but nothing special.
