Innis & Gunn Rum Cask Oak Aged Scotch Ale brewed in Scotland
Rum Cask is fun, vibrant and spicy. Who would have thought that rum and beer
would work so well?? It's our unique combination of specially brewed beer,
rum and oak that just makes this beer sing! The sweet, spicy notes of Rum
Cask make it an ideal accompaniment to game meals like venison or duck. It's
sublime with strong, mature cheese when served with good-quality chutneys
and relishes.
Beer Review by Beer Advocate
Appearance: Bronze/ ruby colored beer. Originally it had two fingers of white
head but it dissolved rapidly and left no lacing.
Aroma: Vanilla, sweet malt and dried fruit. A fair amount of honey and molasses
in here too. Smells fantastic!
Taste: Caramel malt, vanilla, raw honey and dates. In place of the fruity aroma
there is some earthy and woody notes in here. Bitterness is low with hops tucked
underneath a big bready and chewy malt backbone. Finish is sweet and savory. The
aftertaste reminds me of homemade snickerdoodles.
Mouthfeel: On the hefty side of medium with moderate carbonation. Even though
there is no alcohol warmth this brew is meant to be sipped and savored.
Overall: Great beer. This is my first time having this and I'm looking forward
to getting more. If you're into sweet and savory beers this will do the trick.
Cheers!
About Innis & Gunn:
Innis & Gunn was first established in 2003 as a joint venture with a leading
drinks firm, who had approached Dougal Sharp, then head brewer at Caledonian, to
create a beer that would lend the perfect finish to a Cask Ale Reserve whisky.
The beer was too good to throw away so Innis & Gunn (the middle names of Dougal
Sharp and his brother Neil) was formed. Dougal led an MBO in January 2008 and
the business is now under private ownership.
Innis & Gunn has two core products in its range: Original and Rum Cask, as well
as many award winning Limited Edition beers. Innis & Gunn is available in ten
countries (UK, US, Canada, Sweden, Ireland, Switzerland, Denmark Finland, Norway
and Australia) and in 17 states in the US: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Virginia, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, Illinois and Nevada.
