Innis and Gunn – Rum Cask

By Andy, 17 October, 2009, No Comment

In a mad attempt to drink something that isn’t Guinness, last night I dug our last bottle of this beautful stuff out of its hiding place. I reviewed this last time – still think its beautiful now.

Innis and Gunn – The Whiskey Version

By Anne, 12 September, 2009, No Comment

(I’ve come across a few old reviews that were saved on Facebook, so I’m reposting them here)

It comes in a box so it has to be nice

Well thats my impression when I see it on the shelf, the combination of the box and the suggestion of using a glass (as part of its sampling suggestion) lends this to being a classy beer.

My taster remarked on the strength of the beer, and to be honest it probably tastes stronger then it really is, due to the whiskey taste and smell the beer has. Probably in no small part thanks to the use of whiskey barrels during the production process.

To sum up: a fine beer which is worth while picking up from your local super market.

Innis and Gunn: Rum Cask

Innis and Gunn Rum Cask Beer ReviewThis is the sort of beer that comes sealed in a posh black box with a barrel number on the sticker sealing it shut. Making no mistake that this is limited edition.

As you open the bottle the fact that this beer was brewed in ex-rum barrels is obvious as you cant escape the slight smell of rum that greets you.

This is perfect for people who enjoy darker beers, yet also enjoy the lighter taste of blonde beers.

Buy it from Sainsburys and enjoy!

Bet its glad to see us raving about something that isn’t Cornish :- )

Disappointment of the month: Innis and Gunn Triple Matured

By Andy, 22 December, 2008, No Comment

Some beer blogs have a Beer of a Month. I’m now going to have a “Disappointment of the month” – dedicated to those moments that you get a decent beer – it looks good, it should be good, but it tastes well….urg…

That general feel of boredness that follows the taste of beer that you dont have any particular strong feelings for, or even worse the sort of beer that you wouldn’t mind leaving at the end of the night.

The first Beer needs to be Innis and Gunn Triple Matured – its the blue boxed beer you can find in Sainsburys – probably the Seasonal Aisle. It looks nice and pompus but unless you particularly like very hoppy beers I would give it a miss. Its just nothing special – keep with their normal stuff.
