Innis & Gunn Original Ale

This beer began the adventurous history of the Innis & Gunn brewery It was the first beer brewed here and the beer that made the brewery one of the most popular in the country Three different malts give the beer its beautiful color and wonderfully smooth, malty aroma The Super Styrian hops also add a fruity lightness to the beer The result is a creamy Scotch ale that becomes even smoother and spicier thanks to the additional storage with bourbon barrels

The brewery has developed a unique process in which the beer is not filled into the barrel, but the barrels are put into the beer This technique enables brewers to transport more flavor into the beer with fewer barrels and to control and influence the aroma of the beer more closely For the "Barrel into Beer" method, the wooden barrels are broken down into their individual components, toasted in the oven and then added to the beer tank There are now five stages of roasting: Depending on how long the wood has been in the oven, it releases very different flavors This barrel aging process is unique and was invented by master brewer and founder of the brewery Dougal Gunn Sharp

The Original from Innis & Gunn is a malty beer that tastes delicately of creamy caramel and dark roasted aromas The full-bodied beer caresses the palate wonderfully velvety and presents a delicate hop fruitiness alongside the buttery toffee note The creamy and warm finish complements the interplay of aromas wonderfully and makes you long for the next bottle
