Innis & Gunn Oak Aged Beer (Bottle)

Brewed by Belhaven (Greene King)
Style: English Strong Ale
Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland

Robe dorée foncée très claire surmontée d’une mousse blanche mince qui persiste. Arômes de chêne. Saveurs de chêne, de whisky et de malt caramel. Houblon de soutien.

330ml bottle. I personally didn’t care for the aroma this beer dishes out. To me it was like the time I spilled Duckstein and some went behind the fridge. However, many people enjoy the aroma. My only complaints are the aroma and a lack of complexity.

Clear amber colour with a medium moslty lasting white head. Aroma of malts and fruits with hints of oak.

Clear golden body with a medium white head. vanilla & butterscotch aroma. Taste has too much vanilla flavours with some pleasant butterscotch as well as some oak hints. As forgettable as a straight-to-video beach movie. Bottle.

Bottled. A golden beer with an off-white head. Lots of wood and smoke in the aroma, and some malt too. The flavor has smoke and bacon in it, along with a malty sweetness. Lightly cloying, sweet finish and a medium to full body. Goes well with dark chocolate. Rating: 6-4-6-4-13-3.3. (060428)

Bottle. It pours a clear, golden body and a diminishing, minimal off-white head. Malty, toffeeish nose with butterscotch and vanilla, some fruityness, and a hint of something in the middle between caraway seeds and anise. A bit more warming in the mouth than suits the beer, giving a hint of whiskey. Full-bodied and almost sticky sweet. The flavor is on the sweet side, with toffee and vanilla, some alcohol and fruityness, a little bitterness, and some spicy stuff. Long, toffeeish and vanilla-flavored finish with a little bitterness. A quite flavorful beer, but it’s not flavors that suits my palate too well, it actually feels a bit un-natural, but sure, I can drink a bottle every now and then. (090620)

bottled. whatever shade of amber with a light head. plenty of vanilla in the aroma to show it’s woodagedness. tasted of raisins and whisky, pretty nice

Very nic,e but very potent too, apparently it has some Whiskey spots because of its aging on the barrels.

Golden brown body with white head ,some laces; Medium sized nose with a somewhat strange combination of sweet and fresh: Loads of sweet malt and citrus as the most characteristic, but also vanilla sugar, toffee. It has depth but is very simple; Full carbonation in a balanced body with quite sweet and a very little bitter, little fat/creamy in texture; Long finish, but again very simple and sweet. Toffee all over the place, combined with a very little spicy sharpness. Very simple beer!
