Review: Innis & Gunn Cask Ale
Jun. 21st, 2011 10:07 pmDamn the LCBO site sucks. Another reason to open up the market to private operators.
ANYWAY, they're stocking Innis & Gun's Rum Cask beer... For lovers of Scottish ale and rum (things that don't go together!) comes this strong (7.2%) beer. I'm not a big fan of rum myself so I'm not totally in love with those undertones, but it is still a pretty good beer, "fruity and spicy" as the label says, a strong syrupy flavour that wasn't sweet. I'm a huge fan of the regular I&G Cask ale; this doesn't surpass it, but it sure is a nice special edition.
Special note: Each bottle has a label saying who Approved for Bottling, and the name of the Master Brewer. Of these two names, one is a woman, something of a rarity in the beer world. Let's hear it for more diversity in the brewing world!
