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. A quid, from the local offy. Clear, dark copper colour. Messy, thin, pale tan head. Toffee malts. Mint rock. Vine fruits. Taste is sugary sweet. Some nasty, burnt sugar bitterness. Claggy mouthfeel. Artificial sweetener on the finish. Interesting to note the rating disparity with these beers. I’m in the, "I’m glad I only paid a quid" category.

330ml bottle (6.8% version). Pours a clear, deep amber red/brown colour, with a small off-white head. Rum aroma is quite distinctive, and so is the oak, malts. Flavour is strong, rum, lightly roasted malts, wood, some fruitiness, vanilla - has a woody/rummy aftertaste. Nice beer, quite different from other strong ales.

33cl bottle at home. Pours clear amber with thick, diminishing off-white head. Medium body, somehow sticky mouthfeel, average carbonation, almost no lacing. Aromas are not as intense as I would expect, but rum and dried fruits prevail. Caramel, nuts, rum, plums, raisins, with some notes of lemon sourness, resin, orange, malty sweetness on the tip of the tongue. Was finely paired with dark chocolate filled with roasted almonds. Interesting, soft, refreshing, despite that I expected more.

Mahogany with not much head or aroma. Clear and medium bodied with little carbonation. Rum sweetness without much malt flavor. Cloying but mild finish. Not the best this brewer has to offer.

Malty almost an unsweetened root beer flavor. A bit earthy. Perhaps a hint of rum but not strong. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bonito color caoba. Minima espuma, que cae al momento. Aroma agradable, dulce principalmente y a malta tostada. Cremosa en boca, con buena carbonatacion y un buen sabor a malta rodeado de un amplio tono de licor, dicen que ron pero a mi me recuerda mas a whisky. Tambien ligeramente frutal, y mas marcado a vainilla. Final tambien dulcito, agradable. Curiosa, diferente. Pero equilibrada y bien hecha

I’ve been avoiding these over-priced clear bottles, and now I found it on draft!. Cloudy brown, nose is lightly oaky, flavor big on rum, oak, soft malts, only enough hop for balance, no particular hop aromatics. Fairly sweet, strong. Its a bit too much rum/oak for a relatively light bodied beer.
