Innis & Gunn Oak Aged Beer (Bottle)

A copper-coloured beer with a distinct smokey flavour, almost like a cheap whisky. Despite the cheap whisky aftertaste, this is an enjoyable beer, but one or two will do it for me, before I need a real beer.

(Bottle) Purchased at the LCBO Rideau back in October - sampled in January 2006. Pours a large frothy white head. Nose is mildly corn, gluey and skunky. The flavour is watery and canned corn. Very disagreable.

Bottle. Creamy, smokey whiskey aroma. Dark copper colour. Flavour is also smokey in a sort of creamy way, perhaps vanilla. Interesting, and I like it.

I enjoyed this beer. Decent. Dark Golden colour with medium beige head. Light malty sweet aroma, Whiskey like subtle notes to it from the oak cask. Smooth palate.

Nice bottle. Pity it contains the most diacetyl laden beer I’ve ever tried!! The oak added an interesting diversion but it couldn’t keep me interested enough for me to actually drink the whole thing.

Bottle. Pours light amber/brown with an off-white head. Malty, wooden aroma with an acidic touch. Fruity and citric notes in the background. Interesting, but nothing special. Flavour is malty with slightly smoked notes – feels quite whiskey-like. Again, interesting, but nothing special. Thin finish. 03-01-06.

Medium head on a caramel brown body. It has a very rich aftertaste, slightly reminding of whisky, perhaps due to ts maturing in noak kask - I wouldn’t be susprised if the cask had contained whisky previously. It all makes for a very refreshing taste. Definitely one of my favourite Scottish beers.

Fine off-white head, clear orange body. Malt and a bit of caramel in the aroma along with flower tones. Sourish fruit and malt flavor with a candied touch. Sparkling mouthfeel. Ordinary and very far from the Cask Strength version!
