Innis & Gunn Oak Aged Beer (Bottle)

Some have complained that this tastes oaky but I didn’t find that at all. Quite a pleasant beer with a bit of a distinctive flavour.

Bottled. Honeyish yellow/amber colour with big offwhite head. Aroma of oak, hops and vanilla. Flavour is malty, oaky and also hints of vanilla and caramel. Finish becomes fruity and vanillaish. A bit too sweet, but otherwise very nice.

Amber color, good creamy off-white head. Aroma has oak wood and vanilla. Medium bodied. Very sweet toffeish. Lots of oak barrel, whiskey and vanilla flavors. Barrel maturing comes quite clearly to flavor and aroma but overly too sweet to be really good one. (6/4/6/3/12 3.1)
. [Bottled] (BB 04/2007).
Amber color, small white head. Flowery hoppy, oaky nose. Alcoholic, flowery hoppy with whiskey and vanilla presence. As someone said, a bit similar to Duckstein. (6/4/6/3/12 3.1)

Darkish amber w/ frothy off-white foam. Vanilla, caramel, oak & berries on the nose. Light, slightly grainy feel. Flavour is sweet w/ caramel & toffee notes & a whiskey-ish character in the finish.

Big head, creamy in texture and colour, well formed. Nice dark amber hues. Bouquet doesn’t do a heap for me, basic ale notes, a touch stale. Palate kicks in nicely, flavour weight in the mouth is immediately noticeable, almost liquor like. Nice malt treat, appropriate sweetness, really really good mild carbonation suits the beer perfectly. Oaked aged treatment not noticeable, at least for me.

Ça l’air d’une petite bouteille de scotch! Couleur ambré pale avec un petit collet. L’arome n’est pas impressionant, un peu boisé. Goût sucré, un peu alcoolisé mais plaisant.

33 cl bottle. This one 6,6% vol. Amber clear colour with a lance head. Aroma of wood, malt and little whisky too. Great tasty flavour of sweetness, oak, bourbon and little alcoholic, with hints of smoke. Ends up great

33 cl bottle from Swedish "Systembolaget" on March 24.
Clear brown color, almost to red. Creamy head. Very odd o rat least unusual scent, reminds of grains and whisky. Mot likely from the aging in oak barrels. Taste is a bit musky and heavy, feels like it’s been too short period of time in the oak to have "matured" that flavor.

33 cl bottle left at home by a friend a while back
Clear deep golden to pale copper color, fluffy white head. Wood, oak, dry, acidic, lactic scent. Lactic, acidic, grainy, malty, dry taste. Medium mouthfeel, medium to medium low bitterness.
This must’ve gone bad somehow, feels infected and sour.
