Bottle from the lcbo. Fruity, trademark buttery oak Aroma all Innis beers have. Bready, Sherry flavoured malts, sweet, and sticky. Caramel and brown sugar and more buttery earthy barrel.. Low bitterness sweet vanilla and earthy barrel in the end. Run of the mill Innis beer.

(Bottle - best before Feb 2017) Pours clear copper brown with small white head. Aroma of wood and toffee, with hints of overripe fruit. Medium body, slightly sticky, slightly oily, with gentle carbonation. The taste has a strong component that is pretty sweet toffee. There's a bit of wood, a bit of bitterness. It's very drinkable, but not as special as I expected. Maybe 10 months after the best before date is the reason.

Bottle from B&M, Halifax. Golden-amber with a thick poured bubbly-frothy head. Strongish, most evidently through its nose, it has malty-caramel and toffee flavours, with a caramel style smoothness in its texture.

330ml bottle out of a fancy box, BBE Feb 17, poured into a Duvel glass on 19th Feb 17, so just ’in date’. Deep amber body colour, full head of lightly tanned bubbles. Malty nose with some Oak, washing up liquid too, taste is very sweet, even for my sweet tooth. Not a beer I would buy again.

Pours a clean amber colour with a warm cap, good retention and some light creamy lacing. Toffee with caramel malt in the nose and some vanilla to balance out the sweetness. The taste is pretty sweet though, with some light alcohol. Hints of dark fruits blend things. A little oily, a little syrupy. Could not drink another, right after.

Bottle from the Summerhill LCBO served in my thistle glass. It pours a good looking orange gold with a fizzy beige head that doesn’t linger. The aroma is semi-sweet malt forward with some nuttiness (walnut) but I don’t get much from the barrel at first whiff. Medium bodied with a somewhat raspy carbonation. The taste is quite nice: a touch of oak barrel character then lots of caramel, herbs, some mint, a bit of a woodsy semi-bitter finish with a little heat to it warming my belly. Not really a brew I see as complex enough to warrant the special packaging but it’s a solid malt-forward brew. Tasty.
