Jake's Christmas Beer Advent Calendar - Day 11


Here’s day 11’s beer: Innis & Gunn Scotch Whiskey Porter


This is the second Innis & Gunn of the bunch, and let me tell you, it’s also just about the darkest one I’ve tried so far.

How did it taste? Well…like rye and coke to be honest, but less fizzy. It was just on the cusp of being waaay too sugary for my tastes and felt like I should have mixed it with something else.

But, that being said, sweetness aside, it was excellent. It almost seemed like I shouldn’t have drank it cold at all.

Anyway, I’ll give it a 7/10.

I liked the Rare Oak Pale Ale far better, mainly for the reason it was less sweet and bit more robust tasting. I’m not one for sweet usually though, so that’s to be expected. I’d drink it again, but I might pick other offerings from the Innis and Gunn batch first.
