This special bottling of Innis&Gunn has been matured in rare oak barrels from a famous distillery in Ireland. These barrels had been used to mature one of the great triple distilled Irish whiskeys. The result of this unique maturation is a big, full flavoured, complex beer with a delightful warming finish.

12 oz. bottle from the Beer Store, Nashua, NH. Aroma of chocolate, caramel, and slight whiskey aroma. Flavor is hints of whiskey, apple, roasted malt, coffee, vanilla. All flavors are fairly subtle. Medium to full body. The flavors are on the elegant side with nothing robust but it’s still decent over all. Not sure I would ever buy again but, it’s worth a try.

Sampled from bottle, pours a fairly clear dark amber brown with a small head. Aroma brings out light notes of wood, moderate whiskey and some toasted nuts. Flavour is very similar, dominated by wood and whiskey. Actually has a fair amount of body and complexity. I would never have bothered with this, but was offered it at a social gathering and thought I may as well try - surprisingly good stuff. Must be one of the best Innis & Gunn beers out there.

Bottle: Poured a dark brown color ale with a medium dirty brown color head with medium retention and light lacing notes. Aroma is dominated by sweet caramelized notes with light whiskey notes. Taste is also dominated by sweet caramelized notes with a light whiskey touch which kind of round of the edges of the beer. Body is light with medium creamy texture and good carbonation. A bit of a lighter profile then I had expected with not as much whiskey notes as expected.

Bottle at a ChrisO Tasting - London. Pours clear brown with ruby highlights and a foamy, off-white head. Dark bready malt nose, some light whiskey notes. Medium to big sweet flavor with moderate chocolate, dark sugars, sweet bread. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Very sweet to finish with dark bread, sweet chocolate, dark dough. Nice enough beer, though the ’whiskey’ isn’t especially present.

Since I was unable to find any unrated Irish beers locally to serve St party’s party I grabbed a scottish beer aged in Irish whiskey cask. And since I am unable to keep beer in fridge without drinking I enjoyed one 4 days prior to party. Pours dark brown with little head that quickly disappears. Nose is light chocolate and whiskey. Tastes of light Irish whiskey and chocolate, malt, earth,and root beer. All flavors are subtle and it’s not too sweet but a touch thin
