You've all heard of wines and whiskies getting better the longer they are allowed mature, but have you heard of beers being matured? This special bottle of ale from Innis & Gunn is matured for an amazingly long 77 days (most beers don't go through this, they are manufactured and bottled as fast as possible to seal in the freshness) in an oak barrel before being blended and bottled. This is my favourite beer.
Sadly, it's only available in the US and European countries for now. I checked on their websites. When I dreamt about Manchester like I said on Facebook lately, I had a bottle of this in my hands. Ahh... sweet bliss.
I might miss Koppaberg as well, but this little bundle of exquisite brew is definitely on top of my Xmas list.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: Honey
Palate： Luxurious malt and toffee giving way to mellow oak
with vanilla overtones.
Balanced by the orange peel citrus character. Warming
Finish: Floral, soothing oak with vanilla more evident, lemon zest. Pour me another!
