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.""""

Despite the mediocre score, this is still one of my favorite beers. Mostly because it is the beer that taught me how to appreciate a good beer. It is an amazing beer considering it’s mass production. Beautiful deep amber colour, rich aroma, and rather complex flavours to boot. Everyone should try it atleast once.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear, warm amber with a creamy, off-white head leaving some lacework. Aroma is pure whisky. Medium body with lightly sweet malt and caramel. Otherwise pleasant notes of wood and whisky with a dry and alcoholic finish. 180107

Clear golden amber with a fine white head. Vanilla, wood, fruit, spice and herbal. Nice and smooth with a very delikat oak-taste.

Bouteille claire de 330 ml achetée à la LCBO (Ottawa, ONT). Arôme: Odeur de céréales et de mélasse. Apparence: La couleur est ambrée foncée avec une densité de bulle presque nulle. Absence de col mais présence d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Odeur de caramel et de coconut (?). Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement crémeuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Présence de caramel brûlé en arrière goût. (Rating #833)

Bottle at home. Dark amber with a white head, almost diminishing. Aroma moderate malty (druity, oak) and hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet and bitter. Medium body, normal carbonated. Very special and delicate.

Pretty much it has an amber colour with a thick head that goes away in little time. It smells like smoked beef, no shit, like smoked beef. Taste reflects the smell minus the beef... smoky methinks. Has a pretty sweet deep finish. Little bitterness I spotted in this beer. Yeah, this beer is not easy for me to describe, but hell, it is rather good. God damn I would have it again and again and again.
