Tasting Notes from Dougal Sharp’s Notebook:
Innis & Gunn Independence Day 2012 Beer
Nose: Biscuity malt & fruity citrus notes competing for prominence, then our classic Innis & Gunn oak-vanilla notes come through. Hints of apple and marzipan
Palate: Mouth-tingling and vibrant, biscuit malt and citrus flavours vie for attention, vanilla and oak dancing on and off the palate and become more pronounced as the beer warms in the glass. Delicious.
Finish: Malty sweetness with fruit and lingering oakiness
Style: (Barrel Aged)
Hops: Styrian Golding
Malts: Malted barley
Availability: 11.2 oz bottles
Arrival: June, 2012
