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.

Slight haze, Thin head. Thin aroma of caramel. Light body, just a touch of caramel sweetness. Empty stuff, here. Drinkable, not particular faults, but empty sweet stuff.

Bottled. Gold pout. Could taste a serous caramel oak sweetness mixed with acidic wheat flavor. Interesting.

For whatever reason, I had never had this, thinking that all the old supermarket bottles must have over-halogen lit and hence skunked. So i picked up a fresh-y one at whole foods. Poured as it looks in the bottle (duh), taste is like butter toffee cookies after english tea. Really. And that’s a good thing.

(Bottle) Amber colour with frothy, tan head. Malty nose with dried fruit, fruit cake, dried apricots, oak wood, butterscotch, pears and spices. Malty, sweetish taste with notes of butterscotch, caramel, oak wood, fruit cake, dried apricots, pears and a touch of nutmeg. Low bitterness. Medium body, quite sweet. On the sweet side, but tasty and fairly well balanced. Quite nice.
