396) Home: Winter Beer 2011 by Innis & Gunn of Scotland: **1/2; I thought I detected less sweetness than in the Spiced Rum Finish; there are notes of brown sugar and dried fruit; dark, rich caramel flavours; matured for 48 days;
I should use this space to declare that my wife "got" Innis & Gunn long before I did.
Their web-site has received a good deal of praise of late: http://www.innisandgunn.com/. It is worth a visit just for the story of how they came to create their beers in the manner that they do.
As best I can tell, the only way to get the Winter Beer 2011, not to mention the Spiced Rum Finish, is in the gift pack with the glass and I am sorely tempted to purchase another. I am starting to see the original Innis & Gunn on draught. I had a glass at the beerbistro and it is quite a treat on tap.
