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.""""

Its clear and the mouth feel feels a bit thin, but it packs a super punch. the whiskey malts adds a touch of smoke.its a potent beer that is quite tasty.

The aroma is malty and buttery with quite a definite oak-rum quality. The appearance is light amber with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. A nice beer.

bottle from morrisons- first impressions pours pretty enough, smells pure skunk. bright orange with a creamsicle foamy head and lacing. nose is skunk. heaps of caramel toffee and some wood. cereal. tastes really creamy mouthfeel. lightly sweetened with heather, honey. probably the most respectable beer ive had from a clear bottle. toasty buttery banana flavours with a dry finish, a bit too sweet too much grain.

330ml bottle poured in a snifter. Pours a brownish amber with a medium white head. Big oak and sour vanilla aroma. The vanilla was so overwhelming I wasn’t sure I could finish it. Taste was much better, though. Smooth crisp and malty with just hint of the vanilla and oak. Finishes dry with a slight oakiness. Interesting beer, but not worth what I paid for it.

330 ml bottle. Dated 08 Jan 09. Dark copper amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is lightly malt, much like Newcastle Brown. Medium body. Slightly sweet. Rather oaky. Mild, lightly spicey hop. Bitter builds with time. Leaves a tingle behind. Seems a bit of malt whisky notes. Pretty good.
