I thought I would end the month like I started it, reviewing a fine Innis & Gunn offering. This special edition is, as it's name suggests, matured in rum casks.
It has a clear dark red colour, with a nice white foamy head.
It smells of hops and malt with the great undertones of rum, definitely there but not overpowering the definite beer smell.
It starts off cleanly with the hops and malt touching the tongue with he hit of rum mixing with them pretty quickly and completely overtaking the malt, but mingling with the hops and creating a nice counterpoint between rum and hops on the finish.
Overall its an interesting beer, with a nice interplay between the flavours. It would be a nice brew to enjoy at the end of the day and would go well with red meats and game. I'd recommend it just like the rest of the Innis and Gunn line.
