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.""""

Bottle at the Briar Rose (JDW), Birmingham. A very complex beer I thought, which combines alot of flavours into a very clean palatable drink. Intense aroma, and an almost immediate whiskey hit, followed by a chilled out vanilla and toffee mixture, with a long lingering finish, which is tingly. Pale copper colouring, and a rather good beer.

Clear copper in color with a huge two-inch head. Sweet sugary malt nose and flavor with hints of vanilla, oak and toffee. Light, crisp bittersweet finish. Excellent.

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.

12oz bottle from LCBO in Ontario. Pours a light straw with some decent lacing. Aroma is faint, but does have a hint of whiskey to it. The taste has more than a hint of the whiskey, although it is still a bit light overall. It does go down quite nicely.

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.

Appearance: Pours a clear, dark amber body with a foamy white head and great lacing. Disregarding the use of clear glass, the bottle is rather attractive. Smell: This aroma is all about the whiskey. Soft touches of buttered bread, wood, and sugary vanilla are also evident. Taste: The whiskey quality shows up as soon as you open the bottle, and as soon as it touches your tongue. Features some malty caramel, lemon, and pepper with a mountainous amount of oak in the flavor. Finish is distinctly wooden, with strong notes of vanilla bean. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Amply carbonated. Drinkability: A singularly unique beer that’s best enjoyed slowly.

Drank in an English Pint. Clear golden poor with a sticky white head. Aromas of vanilla creme brule, old whiskey barrells, toffee, Worthers original?... Long dry aftertaste. This beer should defnitely be tasted chilled as per its instructions. You can definitely taste what you smell, just not as impressive. Extra added hints of maple syrup. Good bitterness.

Bottled. Copper color with poor head. Malty and sweet aroma featuring vanilla, citrus and grain whisky. Sweet flavor of grainy whisky and resinuous hops. Whisky, pepper and woodiness in the finish. Distinctive but not overpowering whisky character.
