Honey Grab Me a Beer?

NYC. This beer wins our award for "best looking bottle and label." Seriously, this one looks like a high end single malt scotch label. Not too surprising, it's a beer from Scotland: Innis & Gunn Original.

They age the beer 77 days in oak casks. They claim it adds "an incredible depth of taste." We say it's honey sweet. Interesting, but sweet, sweet, sweet. Carmel tasting, not a great head, but good mouth feel. Some back palate tastes that we really couldn't identify. A shame we bought just one bottle, but we fear that the sweetness would've just been too much for a second tasting.

We'll try this again, just to make sure we weren't missing anything. But they sure got one thing right: they sure know how to label a bottle.
