Description
Spearheading the barrel-ageing movement from Scotland, The Original bourbon barrel-aged beer is the one that started Innis & Gunn when Master Brewer Dougal Gunn Sharp founded the brewery in 2003.
Innis & Gunn was contract brewed in Glasgow at Tennent's Wellpark Brewery since 2014. On 15 November 2018 Tennent's announced the brewing contract will be terminated with effect from September 2020. Innis & Gunn responded the following day by saying they plan on opening their own brewery.
The Innis & Gunn Brewery in Perth is our home for innovation and barrel-ageing. With plans to build a new large scale brewery in our hometown of Edinburgh, it will be the first new large brewery to be built in the capital in 150 years.

Box and bottle from Toxic and not serious person. Burn in hell. Islay Whisky Limited Edition. No tak 10 letnia dymna whiski dala po nosie aromatem wedzonej skory, salami. Kielbaska z ogniska. Nafciarz ktory tanczy tango wraz z bambergowska schlenkerla stawiajac kroki w obu nozdrzach. Wiec mozna sobie wyobrazic ten aromat:) Piana jasno bezowa nie za trwala, ale nie o to tu w tym smogu dymu chodzi. Barwa klarowna przejrzyste wyglada jak dobre czerwone wino w kieliszku. Brazowe odcienie. W smaku spalona szynka na patelni, bez oleju, zalana tofii i nieco mon cheri. Alko tylko 7 z kawalkiem wiec dymu nie przeskoczy w odczuciu. Cialo srednie, no szkoda przydalo by sie go wiecej. Ale ladny kartonik no i ten wedzony dymny aromat, bezcenne

Medium bodied, soft on the tongue with a sticky cloying back.
Light malt, biscuit & cereal tastes with a hop bite on the finish.
Not bad for a lager.

Pours clear red/brown with a mid sized head. Fat aroma of smoked ham, campfire, ash and vanilla. Flavour is smoked ham, wood, nuts and ash. Like drinking Laphroaig without burning alcohol.
