Post Borefts I Invasion of Fonefan and Charlottes room tasting! Clear amber beer. Butterscotch nose. Softish semi dry palate. Light oaky butterscotch. No detectable whisky. First time I have really been disappointed with an Innis & Gunn beer.

Golden amber. Phenols - paint, bubblegum - dominate the aroma. Sweet, chemical, phenol-ridden crap. Terrible, overly sweet base beer and no whisky character at all.

Bottle from Paula. Pours amber with a creamy off-white head. Light scotch whisky/smoke aroma. Med body/mild carb. Flavor is light fruit with a light peat/smoke aspect. It’s slightly sweet, but fairly balanced with the oak. Brewdog Paradox it’s not, but it is consistent with the label. Overall it’s fairly interesting.

Pours clear amber color with off white head. Aromas of caramel, whisky, oak and vanilla. Sweet caramel flavor with moderate amount of whisky but not overwhelming. Hints of oak and vanilla. Medium body with minimal carbonation. A bit too sweet for me.

Pours deep amber into a tulip. Off-white head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Sweet caramel, candy corn and oak aromas. Soft with sweet candy corn front to back turning to a lasting slight whiskey finish.

A dark brown ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with loads of vanilla, woody notes, alcohol warmth, nice. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with light vanilla, alcohol warmth, light woody whiskey, surprisingly nice for a 7 year old beer.

Mycket doft av framför allt russin, men också av smörkola som märks ännu tydligare då ölet kyls till rekommenderade 4-6 grader. I smaken finns en trevlig ekfatskaraktär och en aning maltwhiskey. Rödbrunt till färgen och inte särskilt beskt. En av de bättre årgångarna.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of oh6gdx. Pours a clear amber with a lacing off-white head. Cloyingly sweet butterscotch dominates the nose combined with a whisky touch. Solid body, carbonation is a little low, malty, caramellish, toffee and butter while the hops are very subdued. A bit cloying really. 260811
