Beautiful bronze colour with wispy lacing.
Aromas of caramel, brown sugar and faint hints of bourbon.
Smooth mouthfeel with lively carbonation.
Flavour is sweet, malty delicious. A worthy brew.

Dark brown and rusty. Smells oddly Flemish with pickled peaches and rye bread flipping into bear claw. Tastes of cream soda, and root beer, barrel notes of Saigon cinnamon, rye, brown sugar, raw chocolate, chocolate tea, and cedar that finishes sweeter and creamier with nougat-coffee. โ 5 years ago

Blackest coffee color, no dome, no lacing. Slight gunflint, dark roast coffee, peppercorn, poppyseed, smoky papaya seed covered in sweet pulp, with baked plum aromas. Dark toast with steely-graphite, rosemary-coffee, espresso, coffee rye, camomile, dark toffee and pecan afterthought. The brilliant thing about this beer is its reluctance to lean on sweet elements, and its insistence on pulling complexity from simple elements. โ 5 years ago
04 Vanishing Point - an Imperial stout matured in bourbon barrels 450 days.
Chocolate, charred oak, vanilla and ripe fruit underpined by a heady bourbon character.
Another masterpiece by Innis and Gunn. ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ

Pugnacious head puffs itโs billowy chest. Egg white and and foamy, with a tea colored translucence. Wave top lacing. Orange blossom and mango with grapevine and toast smells leads to sweet barley malt and tangerine. The mango is strong in the mouth, but not sweet. Tons of lemon oil, lime peel, and sweet grapefruit from the hops come out, but still it shows restraint (literally the earmark of every beer style these folks make) and balance. It is fruity, but never steers far from the earthy realm of beer. Opening and closing within the canon, and doing so with an ingredient far from its shores. Great work! Great Scot! .

Fruit forward nose, dominated by blackberry pie aromas. Some cinnamon and vanilla mixed with dark fruits and some other enticing warm smells. Big, rich, and dense but smooth underneath is dryness. Lots of big flavors, but finishes easy enough. โ 2 years ago
