I never expect too much from Innis & Gunn. I was surprised with the flavour, which was quite good. Flavours of dark fruit, toffee, vanilla, oak and just a hint of bourbon. Its sweet with mild hoppy bitterness. Aroma is similar. It's the usual not so good stuff from the appearance and mouthfeel.

Pours a deep amber colour with a warm beige head, good retention and creamy lacing. Hoppy aromas with some grassy notes. Then, some dark fruits come out with dates, plums and hints of coffee, nuts. A little bitter in the mouthfeel. Not much bourbon, as not as sweet as expected. Dark fruit flavours with some mild wood in the finish. Not my favorite of theirs, but if you like dark fruits with some hoppiness, this might be for you.
