COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This limited bottling of I&G has been aged with spiced rum oak chips. The result is absolutely delicious, bursting with the flavours of Caribbean spices along with our signature notes of vanilla, toffee and oak.

The aroma is buttery with toffee, rum barrels, vanilla, and spice. The appearance is amber gold with a medium head. The taste is like the aroma. The palate is well carbonated. Overall I like this very much.

From the 11.2 fl. oz. bottle. It pours an attractive medium amber-copper with a long lasting small head. The aroma is of malts, rum barrels, and licorice. The body is medium. The flavor is a bit more spicy than the aroma leads you to believe with notable spices such as pepper. It definitely has the Innis & Gunn signature with a twist.

Bottle. Sits in its clear bottle an amberish color and pours with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of rum, vanilla, some coconut, and some wood. Tastes of vanilla, wood, caramel, rum, and some spices.

DiarmaidBHK (2288) - Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 8, 2012
Draft at Mad Mex Robinson. Pours brown with a thin white head. Slight rum on the nose. A bit more run on the tongue but it was more faint then expected. I didn’t get a lot of the other spices. Eh!

DrinkEmUpJones (1018) - Georgia, USA - NOV 5, 2012
Clear red orange color with virtually no lacing. Musky aroma with slight vanilla notes (probably from the oak aging). Somewhat creamy palate with a crisp finish. Light bodied overall. It’s OK.

Never smelt I&G like this b4. Some vanilla,toffee,woody oaky sweet smells. 2 finger white head in the I&G glass. Amber red to light pale gody in front of me. Veary little carbination and only on left side. As I draw the beer in I taste vanilla & toffee,then it gos a light stickyness,some woody okay taste and no wetness. Not amazing/great but not anything bad. 6/10

Bottle from Capone’s. Pours translucent copper with 3-finger creamy, uniform off-white head that laces well. Nose is toffee, oak, spicy spirity, and malty. Tastes very malty, woody and spirity, with some mid-palate spices, fruit, and caramel. Finishes oaky, spicy, and malty.

pintbypint (1985) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - NOV 2, 2012
330ml clear bottle in box. Golden colour, clear. Very white cap, a few streaks of lacing. Nose has toffee, vanilla, light whiff of alcohol. Taste has butterscotch, toffee chips, vanilla. Finish dries out a bit, some woody notes. Aftertaste, a bit woody, fairly plain, minimal spice notes reveal themselves very late. Medium body with a bit of a creamy mouthfeel, level feel to the carbonation. Drinkable for a 7.4% abv brew, but not much depth, rum notes seem pretty minimal.
