Spiced Rum Finish
Innis & Gunn

Copenhagen 7/5 2016. 33 cl bottle from Rema1000, Frederikssundsvej. Kbh. NV. Classic Innis & Gunn look but in a dark bottle for once. They declare that this beer is full-bodied and bursting with fruit and spicy notes. I can’t hardly wait.

Pours deep dark amber with a white head. A bit bubbly. Evaporates almost completely upon pouring. No lacing.

Aroma is of sweet of vanilla, caramel, rum and a little alcohol.

Soft carbonation and slightly thick palate. Almost flat texture.

Flavor is quite sweet as well. Reminds me a little of sherry. You can actually taste the rum the beer is named after.

Very typical Innis & Gunn - and if you like their brand of beer, this is a fine specimen.

330 ml clear bottle in cardboard box, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. BB date Sept. 2013. ABV is 7.4%. Cognac colour, slightly hazy. Small off-white head. Fairly nice sweetish aroma of spiced rum and oak, some vanilla. Nice medium sweet flavour, spiced rum, spiced stewed fruits, moderate oak and vanilla. Minimal hops, as in all Innis & Gunn beers, but here the spiciness to some degree compensates for the lack of hops. Probably the best I & G variety I’ve had so far

Scottish week at Lidl in my neighborhood a few of these scotch ales, I can say that all of this is very strong in alcohol and herbs, stained like brown rum smells like smoldering wood, sharp mint / burnt flavor, after washing in the finish
Think I'd rather drink a whiskey and I do not drink that

 

 

pretty good but seemed to skunk easy in the clear bottles.discontinued before they brought in the brown bottles.pretty good though overall,but not their best.

Beautiful beer. The spiced rum flavors really come through and provide something remarkable. I would go back to this anytime.

 

 

Bottled and they've gone upmarket & ditched the clear glass thank god but it's contents are still barely above average ale with little in aroma and flavour and not much rim either

T: Sweetish dark rum, toffee, molasses, mulled spices, minor heat, caramel, oaky wood, faintly fruity, vanilla on warming, trace biscuit.

330ml bottle. Pale amber colour. Large, frothy, off white head quickly disappeared and left no lacing. Dark fruit and caramel aromas. Pleasantly sweet taste. Medium body, smooth texture and a gentle alcoholic warmth. Would go down well as a nightcap.
