Subtle bourbon licks and sedate whiskey snips daub mildly creamed vanilla sweetness for brewer’s “original” soft-toned barrel-aged remedy. Scotch-malted buttered rum, toasted almond, pecan, toffee and caramel latte illusions waver beneath. Fragile bourbon-aged Scotch finish is tenuous.

INNIS & GUNN BLOOD RED SKY RUM BARREL ALE
Another understated barrel-aged gem from Scotland’s I & G. Jamaican rum sweetens richly caramelized mocha fruiting, maple molasses-glazed nuttiness and dewy earthen remnant. Brown-sugared fig, plum, date and raisin illusions graze vanilla-creamed brown chocolate stead and ample pecan-chestnut-cola conflux for rummy Scottish-based, Irish-styled red ale.
INNIS & GUNN KINDRED SPIRITS IRISH STOUT
On tap at Growler & Gill, soothing, yet pronounced, Tullamore Irish Whiskey influence gains coffee-stained black chocolate roast and oaken vanilla leathering. Mild wood char seeps into whiskeyed mocha charm. In deep recess, black grape musk and sooty peat add musty wisps.
INNIS & GUNN TOASTED OAK INDIA PALE ALE
Polite English-styled IPA lets mild oak-aged Scotch licks, dewy peat sweetness and grassy hop astringency caress zesty lemon snips over light baked bread spine. Earthen pale malts enhance oaken vanilla, crisp tobacco, fungal truffle, dried apricot and sugar glass subsidies. Soothingly smooth sessionable fare.
