Innis & Gunn Triple Matured Oak Aged Beer

Brewed by Belhaven (Greene King)
Style: English Strong Ale
Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland

Bottle [330ml]. Pours a deep amber-brown with a small frothy/creamy off-white head. Mild aroma of dark fruit, caramel malt, light oak and a hint of vanilla. Flavour, also mild (and watery), of caramel malt, dark fruit, light oak and some vanilla and sugary sweetness -- it’s all very subtle and muted though. There’s practically no finish at all. Average bodied. It’s easy to drink but it’s disappointing (to me), it’s overly mild and almost boring.

12 oz bottle from th LCBO pours a nice dark reddish brown with a smalll biege head The aroma is subtle earthy wood oak The taste WOW not what i was expecting i thought it would be stronger then the regular Innis and gunn but it is smoother and much more subtle oak chocolate and coffee again wow good job i may have to lower my rating on the original this one is that good

Bottled, pasteurised, 330 ml from Sainsburys, Banbury. Chestnut, brown with white head. Fruity malt beer with a woody note, some chocolate sweet notes, vanilla ice cream and a hint of alcohol. Full bodied and a comforting beer.

Very, very rich red colour. Extremely nice looking. Nose has cocao beans, asparagus, sprite. Delicate waves of chocolate pour out into the mouth. Fresh peruvian coffee beans and foothills honey ever so delicately hide in the waves. Some light salt and fresh earth settle in the mid-palate. The finish shows peanuts, rum and fading chocolate again. This is one complicated but terrificaly balanced beer. Well done!

I quite enjoy the Innis & Gunn line. This is one is quite a treat. I particularly like the harmony between the wood and alcohol notes.
