Pioneer of Oak-Aged Beer INNIS & GUNN Announces Two Festive Releases

Innis & Gunn announces the release of two warming oak-aged brews in time for fall – introducing Bourbon Stout (exclusive for the US) and Scottish Porter.

Both beers are matured over oak in Innis & Gunn’s proprietary oak-aging percolators known as the Oakerators®. Bourbon Stout and Scottish Porter are available now in the US while stocks last.

Bourbon Stout: Made exclusively for the USA and not available in any other country. Having made its debut in 2013 to great acclaim, Innis & Gunn decided to re-release it in 2014 as a limited edition. Offered in a boxed large format bottle (660ml), this is a red stout brewed with Innis & Gunn ale malt, rye crystal, roast barley and wheat and matured slowly over bourbon-infused oak. Deep ruby in color, Bourbon Stout has aromas of roasted chestnuts, rich dried fruit and oat biscuits. Whitbread Golding hops complement the sweet biscuity malt with soft hop bitterness, giving way to a warming boozy fruit and nut chocolate kick laced with hints of mellow vanilla.

Scottish Porter: This award-winning seasonal release is back by popular demand after collecting a Silver medal at the World Beer Championships 2012. Adapted from a historic Scottish beer recipe that mixes molasses for depth and richness, Scottish Porter is a deep red ale that carries rich maltiness with notes of orange oil, chocolate and bonfire smoke on the nose and brown sugar, almonds and toffee on the palate, with refreshing hop bitterness.
