Innis & Gunn Oak Aged Beer (Bottle)

From the bottle. Great deep brown reddish colour. Smells of strong malts, and oak. Tastes of vanilla, toffee, and oak. Pretty cool beer.

Clear Bottle- Poured a caramel amber with a white head that simmered away quickly. Nice whisky-light rum aroma. This was more like an aged light liquor with carbonation. Rather smooth and tasty but uncharacteristic of a beer. Still good though.

Off white foamy head. Light amber colour. Aroma is malty, fruity (pear, dates) with light caramel, milky and toffee notes. Flavor is malty too with banana and toffee tones, ending in a moderately fruity finish. Medium bodied.

[330ml bottle, gift from Lee - cheers mate!] I had been planning to have a Rochefort 8 as my 300th beer, but when the time came I fancied something lighter, and after scanning the beers in the cupboard decided that as Innis & Gunn are one of my favourite beer brands, this would be a good one for the 300th. It pours a gingery amber colour, with no head and rather excessive carbonation. The aroma is of vanilla and oaky wood. The taste is of vanilla and cream soda with lots of woodiness and a buttery finish, which means its much smoother than the fizziness would suggest. A slight sour/cough mixture whisky taste comes through afterwards, and you can taste this and the woodiness long after you have finished drinking it. Perhaps not as good as some of their limited editions, but a fine beer nevertheless. Re-rate 20/3/2009: Previous comments stand, but less fizzy and more buttery then I remember; enjoyed it more as a result. Adjusted ratings accordingly.

330mL Bottle. Poured clear medium amber colour with a solid off-white head. Aromas of toffee, toasted malts, sweet fruit and oak. Flavours of creamy caramel/toffee and vanilla,with a good malt base. Finishes balanced and soft on the bitterness. I would have liked to see a bit more emphasis on the oak flavours but overall I was still very impressed by its flavouring. I will defintely be looking for more of this in the future.

330ml clear bottle. Poured a crystal clear dark amber with off white lasting head. Light carbonation. Sweet nut-toffee aroma. Enjoyable whiskey butter-toffee flavour.

Bottle. Amber colored with white head that dimishes rather quickly. Slight bourbon scent. earthy/wood like taste with a little vannila aftertaste
