Mild and smooth start, bordering watery, transitions to an oaked mild IPA.

Yummy. Light malt body with smooth rum finish. Good wood presence enhances flavor.

A light oaking, though not to the cloying off-caramel that I tend to hate. I consider it not bad. I expect connisours of barrel aged beers to really like it.

My second Innis & Gunn and a total winner. Tasty. Smooth. Light oak prefect for a cold Chicago night with friends

I don't know enough about Beer to know if just because a beer is made in Scotland, it should be called "Scotch Ale" but what I do know is that oak aging a heavy dark beer is easy - you can make a heavy beer smokey and woody and it tastes good. But these guys have somehow oak aged a fruity, light beer and come up with amazing results... namely that the fruity lightness is still there but there, now with a layer of complexity that is completely unexpected.
