Bottle shared by a friend during the Christmas Movie Marathon on 12/20/14. Clear amber pour with a medium tan head. Aroma of grassy hops, caramel and slight bourbon. Malty flavor with caramel accents before a grassy hop finish. Not getting much bourbon in the flavor. Maybe age it for longer.

750 ml bottle, bottle #130 of 300, best before March 2015. Served in a nonic pint glass, the beer pours a mostly clear reddish/amber color with about an inch off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both good. The brew smells like bourbon, vanilla, toffee, caramel malt and a bit of dark fruit. Taste is pretty much just like the aroma, but there’s also some nuts and earthy/woodiness noticeable. The bourbon is there, but it’s not overpowering at all. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s slick and a bit creamy with moderate carbonation. I thought this was a good brew, now I’ll have to try the regular Elektron soon. This is kinda pricey at $14.99 a bottle (but then it was aged in bourbon barrels for 6 months), but I think it’s certainly worth picking up!

Deep copper pour. Orange pour, off-white head. Bourbon and dark fruit aroma. Tastes are sweet caramel malt. Not much Bourbon. Ok, even drinkable. 7.0

Dogbrick (9830) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - SEP 4, 2014
Sample at Daily Growler UA. Pours a cloudy orange-amber color with a medium thin dense off-white head that recedes gradually to a wispy film. Sparse spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt, bourbon and caramel. Medium body with a subtle bourbon character and flavors of caramel malt and fruit. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.
