Innis and gun holiday pack at the lcbo. Labeled as bourbon dark ale.
Big bourbon oak aroma, some light fruit, and bready cereals. Low bitterness, quite sweet, big earthy vanilla, and brown sugar.

Bottled (from Systembolaget). Dark brown colour, not that much head. Aroma is caramel, some of the typical diacetylic elements with mild bourbon (vanilla and wood as well as a bit alcohol sweetness). Flavour is very sweet ripe fruits, alcohol, some honey, peppery tones with mild wooden notes as well as some mild vanilla. Rather sweet, much sweeter than most of their other beers.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Pours very dark brown with a beige cap. Aroma: malt and caramel. Taste: light to moderate sweet & bitter, malts, caramel sweetness and bourbon. Some vanilla from the bourbon, hints of smoke. Medium body with soft carbonation. Pretty one-dimensional.

Bottled. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of caramel, alcohol, and bourbon. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, malt, caramel, and bourbon, leading to a dry alcoholic finish.

Sampled from a bottle this beer poured an almost black color with faint orange highlights and a medium sized creamy tan head that left decent lacing. The aroma was wood, cola, vague herbs, bread crust, licorice and molasses. The flavor was woody and a bit astringent with molasses, cola and an herbal note. Medium length finish. Medium body.

Bottle. Pours black with fast dissipating tan head. Light barrel and peat aroma with malt. Flavour is very good, malt, vanilla, smoke, and roast. Doesn't taste as strong as it is. Medium roast and smoke finish.
