Innis & Gunn Rum Cask Oak Aged Beer Beer

Innis & Gunn Rum Cask Oak Aged Beer (7.4) ABV

We are delighted to present this unique limited bottling of Innis & Gunn finished in oak barrels which previously contained navy rum. Maturation in special oak barrels imparts Navy rums with the sweet, spicy character for which they are renowned. We have long wondered what flavours might be imparted to our beer by finishing it in these same barrels and earlier this year we decided to find out. We brewed a special batch of Innis & Gunn beer and matured it in oak for 60 days. Every single drop spent half of that time in American oak barrels before being refilled into selected navy rum barrels to finish the lengthy maturation. Once the beer had absorbed the unique character the barrels were emptied, the beer blended and then maturation continued for a further 47 days until all of the flavours had married together and mellowed. We think the result is absolutely delicious!

i love this beer...sweet and malty with just enough of that woody, tannic bite to it...

Liked this one - smooth, slightly sweet - not as boozy as the whisky version.

This was truly a god amongst beers. It tasted strongly of rum to the point where the taste might have overpowered the beer, but it didn't. It was a full bodied beer, flavorful, spicy and sweet, but with the bitter twist that saved it at the end. I can't say it's balanced but I can say that it hits the spot.

Smooth, slightly sweet, lots of vanilla, caramel, hints of spice. Delicious.
