33 cl bottle. Pours darkest reddish brown with a long-lasting, thick, beige head. Aroma is smokey, beef jerky, banana, blackcurrant, blackberry. Taste starts sweetish, smokey, slightly pungent. Powerful and fizzy, developing into a bitterless long finish. Nice.

Thanks to AleRider78 for a bottle of this one, and third Innis & Gunn tonight. Pours a deep amber colour, almost copper with a big beige frothy cap, long lasting and with thicker soapy lacing. Big smoked wood aromas from the charred barrel. Some fruity malts underneath. The taste shows the burnt wood, but milder. Some prunes and other dark fruits show up. The rum is kind of inexistent, only showing off the charred barrel. Another easy-drinking brew from Innis & Gunn with the barrel character.

0,33 l bottle. Pours deep red brown with dense, light tan, quickly dissipating head. Aroma is malt and vanilla and plenty of woody rum notes from the barrel. Taste is medium sweet compensated with medium to heavy spirit bitterness. Body is medium, texture slick and carbonation average. Finish is medium long, woody bitterness lingers for a while. Decent and drinkable.

330ml bottle [courtesy of David from Schankstube - thanks for sharing!]. Clear, chestnut colour with ruby glimmer and small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Woody, minimally smoky, sweet-ish malty aroma, hints of molasses. Taste is sweet-ish malty, hints of molasses, minimally woody and smoky overtones. So-so.
