Name: Innis and Gunn Canadian Cask Oak Aged Ale
Origin: Scotland (Barrels originate from Canada)
Style: Scottish Strong Ale (7.1%)
Appearance: The colour is a crystal clear ruby red, that pours with a nice, medium sized foamy head with excellent retention.
Taste: There are definite notes of raisins and apples in the aroma. The flavours are fruity, with raisins, apples and some subtler notes of molasses and whiskey.
Mouth Feel: A surprisingly light bodied beer for such a high ABV, this Scottish Ale has a refreshing palette overall. Its high ABV and Whiskey cask aging gives this beer a touch of fire.
Final Thoughts (4.0 out of 5): Absolutely fantastic! This beer was made especially for Canada Day by Innis and Gunn and though I am a week late on trying it, I am glad I did. I love Canadian whiskey and I love Innis and Gunns oak aged ales. This is a great combination of both.
