2015 vintage. Dark brown pour, with an off white almost beige head. Aroma is sweet malts, brown sugar, and earthy barrel. Hints of roasty, and nuttiness, with some light vanilla. Carb is over the top and actually a little tough to drink. Finish is very woody, and earthy, with some more sweet malts. This seems to have alot less of their trademark buttery flavour, this is quite a bit cleaner. Low to medium bitterness, decent stuff.

Bottle from the lcbo. Clear orange pour, big, frothy white head. Citrus, and orange aromas mingle with some strong oak, woody aromas. These beers seem to be seeing less and less of the barrel, this one is only 22 days. Mind you, more would have been over powering i think. The finish is leathery, hints of tobacco, and lots of earthy barrel with hints of vanilla, and slme subtle citrus, one of the best innis and gunn beers ive ever had.

Clear golden pour with a medium white head. Some light floral aromas, honey, soft citrus, oak, woody, earthy hops, and the innis and gunn trademark butter. Heaviy, slightly oily mouth feel with a soft carb. Finish is slightly sweet, subtle wheat flavour, with light lemon and floral herbs, with a buttery, earthy oak finish.

Bottle purchased in rocky mountain house alberta.
I cant say this was totally different from most of the innis beers. Sweet, bready, with hints of wood and vanilla with their signature buttery finish. This beer was definitly woodier, and smokier than their regualr beers. But it didnt scream scotch to me, just a tad smokier and sweeter. It was a cool idea to get casks from all five regions, but it ddint do mich different for the beer.

Limited edition bottle in a fancy box, purchased in rocky mountian house, alberta. Dark brown pour, with a small beige head. Super sweet aroma, with loads of smoke. Some soy, some bacon, and some odd smoked salmon also. The maple surup, just seems to make this way too sweet, and cloying. The finish is again, quite smoky, and the wood and oak barrel come through there. They add some wood to the finish, but the cloying sweetness mixed with the intense smoke just detracts. This is a mess of a beer.

Six pack purchased in rocky mountain house alberta.
Like every other innis and gunn beer, it was a strong buttery, butterscotch, woody vanilla aroma with no hops. They can toot their own horn on the side of their bottle until they are blue in the face about citrus and grapefruit and pine, but it just isnt so. This isnt an ipa, its just another innis woody, buttery, sweet mess of a beer.

500ml can, clear golden pour, big, fluffy white head. Light grains in the nose, some cereals, but more on the vegetal side, with some unpleasant sweetness, and some grassy, green, slightly herbacious hops. Body is full for a lager, and the carb while it looks very active is creamy, and soft. The finish is sweet, and a little corny, with some minerals and wet paper. Wont be buying this again,

Very lightly colored stout, looks like a light porter. Aroma is woody, touches of vanilla, some nice roast malts, and the slightest tinge of bourbon. The carb is quite lively, the mouth feel is a touch thin. The finish is medicinal, woody, with touches of the trade mark innis butteriness.

Clear mahogany pour, small white head. Aroma of butter, light resinous oak, and light vanilla. Soft carb, light mouth feel. The finish is sweet malts, bread, and grass. The slightest tinge of roasted malts come through in the finish. I can barely tell this is even a porter. Disapointing.
