(33cl bottle) Clear, golden colour with a medium-sized, slightly off-white foamy head. Sweet and slightly oaky, barrique-like nose with peaty accents, notes of alcohol, vanilla and a restrained hops character. Sweet flavour, medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Soft malty base with distinctive notes of vanilla, toffee and slightly peaty, whiskey-like flavours; medium-dry, sweet and faint bitter finish with shy hoppy notes and too much of vanilla and alcoholic accents. It´s like in the wine, I just must not have barrique flavours (05.03.08).

Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a small off-white head. Has a malty oaky and slightly sweetish malty aroma with some hints of honey and vanilla. Sweet malty oak and rum flavor with hints of vanilla. Has a sweetish oaky finish with some hints of rum.

Bottle
Dark copper colour. Medium head, good lacework. Big, sweet rum aroma. Flavour is quite sweet with notes of vanilla, coconut and (off course) rum. Somewhat harsh oak and alcohol finish.

(Bottle) Chestnut brown colour with frothy, fairly brief, beige head. Malty, woody nose with lots of vanilla, toffee, rye bread, oak, hints of smoke and distinct notes of dark rum. Malty taste with notes of toffee, caramel, vanilla, cola, dried apricots, oak and dark rum. Rather short finish with distinct toffee sweetness. Medium body, rather sweet, not very bitter. Complex beer, the oak is not as evident in the mouth as in the aroma. Still fairly well balanced, but a bit short.

330ml bottle - part of a mixed Innis & Gunn case from Majestic. Amber with a think white head, leaving some lacing; woody and citrus aromas; smooth texture, with a pronounced vanilla flavour; dry and oaky finish. Unusual, and better than the rest of the Innis & Gunn range.

Bottle: Poured a bright golden color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of liquor (rum), lemon zest and some malt – very different to say the least. Taste is very weird with some rums notes and zest flavour as well as some pastry? Not sure what to make of this but I am glad I had the chance to try it.

Bottled (BBE 12/2007)
Clear copper brown color, strong Scottish (single malt) whisky aroma: smoke, peat. Starts with whisky flavor, then very dry woody aftertaste. Sweetish notes in the finish. More a gimmick than really good combination of whisky and beer.
