Man, I cannot get enough of this stuff. Aged in casks of other booze, Innis & Gunn beer takes on a lot of really interesting flavours.
I’ve tried four of the line: Original (excellent with oaky hints, on the right), Blonde (pretty much the same as Original, only less so, in the middle), Rum Cask (gross, but I don’t like rum, not pictured) and Irish Whiskey Cask (thick, dark and rich in flavour, amazing, on the left). I’m hoping the LCBO or SAQ broaden the available selection in the near future so I can try more of the brand.

[…] We have reviewed a lot of Innis & Gunn beers and products up here at iScotch, and we only disliked two: Original in a can and the Bourbon Stout. The Scotch Whisky Porter makes post 16 in three years for this particular brand, which is kind of crazy. Should probably keep that in mind when I bitch about the gap between releases. […]
