3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled, filtered, 330ml. Orange amber beer with bubbly head. Light butterscotch, vanilla notes initially with a touch of wood pine. Sweet and malty, the flavour is full but not bitter refreshing. Didn’t try it ice cold.

Smells like caramel, scotch, wood, smoke. Thin mouthfeel. Tastes like sweet toffee, woody flavors and smoke. Certainly not a bad beer....just ok.

33 cl bottle @ Edinburgh hotel room.
Rated on 20110728.
Pours clear golden color with small head. Aroma of light malts, some oak notes and fruits. Flavor of vanilla, malts and wood. The oakiness doesn’t fit here at all.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pungent skunky aroma, a bit woody. Pours quite thin, very light. Not a bad beer.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
341ml bottle. Pours a beautiful orange-amber with an off-white head. aroma of caramel, fruit and some vanilla. Flavours of vanilla and malt. I like that this version has more vanilla but it’s not as well balanced as the original. Overall IT’s pretty good though.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle purchased at the Barton Street LCBO Hamilton Ontario. Pours a clear copperish colour. Small white head, with some decent lacing as well. The nose is really quite skunky actually. Taste however is soft and very slightly vanilla. Alcohol numbing on the tongue as well. Interesting but not Innis and Gunn’s best.
3.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours light golden. Has the typical buttery oak taste of Innis & Gunn. Some hops and caramel. Not Bad.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
it’s really too bad that this one is no longer available...managed to find a hidden bottle on the shelves of a local LDB store...less woody than some of the other I & G offerings...smooth oak and vanilla, not too malty or hoppy...it was very refreshing when served well-chilled.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours a golden blonde colour with a thin but lasting white head. Aroma of metal but with oak and vanilla. Tastes of sweet malts with oak and vanilla, with some toffee, and maybe some whiskey. Lightly hopped. Finishes with a kind of woody taste. Quite good, definitely one of the better offerings in the Innis & Gunn line...
