Megawatt Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Innis & Gunn recently released a special beer to the Canadian market, just for Canada Day. It is a variation of their oak-aged Scottish ale, this one aged in Canadian whisky barrels and made with a recipe that includes malted rye. I'll be having one tonight so I'll post my impressions if anyone is interested... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Please do....I just posted on the "What beer are you drinking" thread a Q about the Innis & Gunn Oak Aged....so this variation sounds interesting. Too bad they are not widely distributed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad they are not widely distributed.Well to be honest I don't have much experience with the regular oak-aged variety so I can't really compare them. The Canadian cask is quite rich, with a sharp, burnt caramel flavour, a bit of orange, some other dark flavours I can't identify. I was perhaps expecting something a bit lighter. It's a full-flavoured beer, not really my usual choice of style but still quite nice. Expensive as heck, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
