This is basically the same beer as the regualr Innis and Gunn oak aged beer, but it has MUCH less buttery flavors to it. I’m liking this one much more, its not as cloying, and buttery, and it’s much more balanced, and the oak is actually an asset to the beer not a hinderance i find it is on the regular oak aged beer.

Bottle at home. Pours blonde (quelle surprise) with little head and medium carbonation. Smell is of bananas and plastic bags. Taste is a bit acrid and sweet/sour. Odd little aftertaste. Just doesn’t work for me as a package, which is a shame as I had high(er) hopes for this.

330ml bottle at home. Clear golden pour, no head. Aromas of vanilla, green apples and butterscotch. Taste has more of the same, and a fairly cloying sweetness. Gets worse as you go.

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Slightly unclear yellow orange golden color with a small to medium sized white head that diminishes quickly. Smell malts, toffee. Taste is weird, can’t describe it but I don’t like it, especially the aftertaste. Low to medium body, low carbonation.

Bottle @ Alquitara. Golden colour with a light white head. Aroma is slightly malty, earthy and sweet notes as well. Flavor is moderate sweet, with hints of vanilla and citrus. Sweet final with an average duration.

Bottle at home. It pours golden with a small white head. The nose is spice, wood, dough, weetabix and icing sugar. The taste is honey, vanilla, wood, icing sugar, dough and hint of alcohol coming through in the background with a dry, slightly sweetish finish. Light-med body and fine carbonation. One-dimensional, but actually not too bad.
