This Wee poured a deep amber colour with a creamy, off white head. Nice lacing. Scents include rum, cocoa, vanilla and malt. First swig was smooth and minimally carbonated. Flavours of rum, malt, toffee and a little vanilla. Finish is sweet with rummy, caramel flavours lingering.

Dark ruby pour, with a creamy off white head. Aroma is soft bready malts, light roast, light toffee, and minerals. Soft earthiness, light fruit and caramel. Silky mouth feel, soft carb. Light fruity malts, bready, and barrel is subtle, but adds a soft sweetness. This surprised me.

Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, frutta secca, spezie, vaniglia, datteri e agrumi.

Аромат немного пряный, легкий кофейный оттенок. Пена хорошая, кремовая мелко пузырчатая, цвет бордовый. Вкус кофейный, немного отдает кислинкой и черным шоколадом. Послевкусие странное, какого то лекарства. Немного пряное, имеется горчинка и некие добавки.

December 2009: 330 ml clear bottle in cardboard box, now available in Norway at Vinmonopolet, bestillingsutvalget- also at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 7.4%. Clear mahogany coloured beer with an off-white to beige head. Intense aroma of oak rum cask, notes of vanilla, spices, alcohol, brown sugar, treacle, rum-raisin and dark dried fruits. The flavour is distinctly oaky, but more mellow and rounded without the strong notes of fresh wood compared to the ordinary Innis & Gunn. Moderate sweetness, moderate notes of rum and spices, dry finish, very moderate hops. Should not be drunk too cold.

Im Glas zeigt sich ein klares, rötlich-braunes Bier mit feiner bis mittelgrober Perlage. Die weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone hält dabei leider nicht sonderlich gut. Olfaktorisch nimmt man eine deutliche Rumaromatik mit schönen Holzaromen (Vanille, Kokos) wahr, welche von karamelligen und leicht fruchtigen Noten begleitet wird. Am Gaumen zeigt sich ein recht ähnliches Bild. Der karamelligen und leicht röstigen Malzaromatik wohnen schöne Noten der Rumfasslagerung bei. Man erkennt sofort die Noten von Vanille und Kokos wieder. Auch leicht fruchtige Noten machen sich bemerkbar. So ergibt sich auch ein wenig das Gefühl von Rumtopf oder Rumrosinen. Ein Hauch Hopfenaromatik klopft ganz zart an, spielt aber keine große Rolle. Gesamt gesehen zeigt sich so ein schönes und harmonisches Gesamtbild. Mundgefühl und Drinkability darf man bei diesem Bier ebenfalls als absolut gut bezeichnen. Im Nachtrunk klingen die fruchtigen und malzigen Noten langsam aus und am Ende bleiben die Fassnoten gemeinsam mit einer leicht trockenen Hopfenaromatik über.
