Innis & Gunn Triple Matured Oak Aged Beer

Innis & Gunn
Brewed at Belhaven (Greene King)
Style: English Strong Ale
Edinburgh, Scotland

Serve in English pint, Trappist glass

Bottle. A dark brown colour with no head at all, the aroma is mainly whisky with oak, the taste is soft with whisky and hints of oak again with a soft dry finish.

Bottle, bought @ Bierzwerg.de.
Pours deep clear chestnut with a small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma has toasted caramel, raisins, light milky chocolate and some sweet vanilla notes. Medium carbonation, dryish and light creamy mouthfeel. Flavour has toasted caramel, light chocolate, dryish oak, mild oaky bitterness, some whiskey like smoke and a slight touch of medicine. Nice.

330ml bottle. Dark brown with quickly disappearing white head. Oak notes predominate but blend well with caramel sweetness and vanilla. A typical Innis & Gunn brew, in this case well balanced and therefore one of their best.

Bottle. Dark brown color. Toffee, oak and vanilla in the aroma. Full bodied. Malty sweet flavor with toffee, vanilla. whisky and oily notes. Sticky mouthfeel. Fairly complex.

33cl bottle from Bierzwerg. Poured ruby red with a white head. Aroma is toffee, vanilla, some whiskey notes as well as some sweet maltyness. Flavor is strongly of vanilla and toffee/caramel with some dried fruits as well. Very smooth, maybe some light alcohol notes in the finish. I really like I&G:s beers. Very enjoable.

33cl, as Innis & Gunn Triple Matured, exclusive Scottish brew, from Bierzwerg Greven, complex brew, sweet/malty and slightly woody/alcoholic, not too heavy, balanced, clear, small head, nice brew

Bottle. Found in the back of my stash, best before date is Dec/10, so likely at least 2 years old. Still in pretty good shape, although I expect some of the sweetness has dropped out, as it’s a bit more subdued than I’d expect from an I&G beer of this style and strength. Colour is dark ruby brown; aroma is dark caramel, a bit of oak, a hint of cocoa; flavour follows, with the addition of some dried dark fruit notes in the middle; mouthfeel is soft and smooth. Very nice & elegant, a pleasure to drink.

330mL bottle poured dark brown in color with a big off-white head that settled to a fine lace. Aromas of scotch whiskey and caramel. Taste is caramel and scotch whiskey with some hop bitterness in the finish. This is a very well balanced beer with everything in the right where it should be.
