Innis & Gunn - Bourbon Aged Stout

I received this as a gift set (3 different beers with a custom glass) but the fact is I have had them before and LOVE the beers from Innis & Gunn due to the Oak aged process that is employed with this one and some others. As described by the bottle, Stout aged over bourbon oak chips....well nice job cause this is a great tasting beer for me. I am sure that you will find it at least worth a try.

Taste: Crisp, clean, hint of bitter,
Color: Dark brown

Bourbon Aged Stout
This is really a good tasting beer and as you allow it to get closer to 55 degrees the flavors and aromatics come to life in a good way. The way the glass is made lends it self very well to picking up the pleasant smells that are released from this beer. The flavors last a good while in the month and just add to the enjoyment I had trying this one again. It looks dark but this is not a heavy beer and what you may think of from a stout, it goes down really well. They sell this in a larger 32 oz for about $6 and I feel that is a great price for a great beer like this one.
