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.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 bluejacket74 (1592) - Reynoldsburg, Ohio, USA - DEC 28, 2014
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 theres also some nuts and earthy/woodiness noticeable. The bourbon is there, but its not overpowering at all. Mouthfeel/body is medium, its slick and a bit creamy with moderate carbonation. I thought this was a good brew, now Ill 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 its certainly worth picking up!

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 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.
