Pours a deep red-copper color. A special batch of Inis & Gunn beer was brewed and matured in oak for 60 days; 30 days in American oak barrels, and 30 days in navy rum barrels. It was then matured 47 more days for a full marriage of flavors.
NOTE: Rum Aged, Rum Finish & Oak Aged Rum Finish are the same beer as Rum Cask. They are an alias for different export markets with a tweaked process.
Innis & Gunn: "They are the same beer, the process changed slightly so we changed the name. But the recipe is the same.

Bottle, didn’t see the date, drunk at The Haven on 4/14/17.
Clear, filtered, fairly lifeless-looking rose-peach-amber. Enamel-colored head immediately fades to nothing.
I get a lot more mushy brown sugar, caramel and light red fruits than I do any sort of liquor, let alone oak/wood. Rather blunt and in your face with no nuance or much to balance all of this heavy malt. Booze hidden beneath the sugar and I assume if there were any flaws, they were too.
Soft, slippery, undercarbonated and mushily-malted, it provides caramel, toffee, brown sugar and some slightly interesting cherry-raisin-date character with some warmth on the end and perhaps just a touch of spicy liquor (doubt you could tell blind). Pretty monotonous and completely soulless, typical mass-produced English filtered beer.

Bottle at home. Very tasty vanilla notes and of course some rum but there definitely could be more flavour of rum and others.

Bottle at the White Horse - Parsons Green. Pours clear ruby with a creamy, tan head. The nose has simple ripe berries, caramel, vanilla. Medium to big sweet flavour, faintly medicinal, with bready malts, jammy berries, some smoke. Medium bodied with fine to average carboantion. Sweet finish with delicate peaty notes, more ripe berries, raisins, caramel, bread. Enjoyable.

Bottle, 0.33l. Clear deep brown color with thin quickly diminishing tan-like head and average sparkling appearance. Aroma of oak, vanilla, toffee, cork and rum. Taste starts with medium sweet toffee and toasted malt, follows by oak, grass and touch of rum, mouthfeel is warming, while finish is medium bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Pretty well done...

Bottle, 0.33l. Pours a deep copper body with red hue. Medium sized white head with poor retention, leaving little to no lacing. Nose is sweet, sugary and malty with touch of wood and liquor. Medium body with regular carbonation. Thick texture. Taste is mostly bitter with a bit of metallic acidity, some malty sweetness in the background. Strong aroma of wood and liquor. Malts, hint of vanilla and honey. Herbal and spicy. Long finish, mostly bitter with lasting bitterness on the tongue, unfortunately quite metallic. Overall, good brew. Tasty and warming, perhaps lacking a bit in balance.

As Innis & Gunn Rum Finish. Pours a dark brown, clear, topped with a minimal tan ehad, non-lasting. Mild malty sweet nose with some alcohol presence. Taste is quite woody in the start, alcohol presence easily notable. Finishes with some bittery herbal feel and a bit vanilla-like in the aftertaste. Sharp, strong feel. Not very nice. A bit messy and boozy.
