Innis & Gunn Toasted Oak IPA

This is a 5.6% ABV India Pale Ale aged on oak. Innis & Gunn is in Edinburgh, Scotland. 

The beer pours a light amber and copper, with about an inch of thick and somewhat creamy white head. The aroma is tangy, with pleasant mineral note, and light oak. The taste follows the aromas and adds in some vanilla. The notes are nice separately, but together they make a not very pleasant tasting whole. The beer drinks smooth with a light, tingling carbonation and a lightly bitter finish. This is a big disappointment.
