Innis & Gunn

Anybody ever have Innis & Gunn with the rum finish? Was thinking about tackling something like this. I'm guessing a scotch ale that you could add rum soaked oak chips or something. Anybody have any thoughts?

I have one to drink tonight that my wife grabbed for me at the NSLC last weekend when I was too sick to taste anything.
Nova Prime Taproom
Tap 1: Festa Brew Scotch Ale
Tap 2:
"Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain -
Quaintest thoughts - queerist fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today." ~ Poe

seems like you on the right track with that thinking.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

I liked this beer too... a tad on the hot side, but still good IMO

I was thinking along the same lines as far as reproducing it.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
