Thanx to Pillybeer2112 for sharing this.The nose was real nice.Hints of sweet toffee fill the glass with some malts.Flavor follow ed the same as the nose.Sweet, toffee notes, not bad.It finished off some of a bitter bite with some of the toffee coming through.

11-10-07 bottle.
Smells similar to a lager to me - yeasty malt and unappealing. Very medicinal taste that leaves a funk on the tongue. Clear amber - looks watery and has a watery taste (aside from the bandaid flavor).

Thanks to Gregis for the bottle
Pours amber with a fluffy beige head. Tart malt, and lager-like yeastiness in the smell. Flavor is light, somewhat crisp body with a mild bitterness. Sourdough breadiness and while not my favorite, a drinkable flavorful beer with an interesting tartness.

Bottle, best by 12/1/07, pours a clear caramel color with a minimal off-white whispy covering, no lacing of note. Aroma is caramel malts, toffee, and some slight breadiness. Flavor is malty, with some sweetness, and just a touch of hops to tame the malt. This is a great fall seasonal and makes the crisp weather that much more enjoyable. Another solid entry from Boulevard!

Going away present from kmweaver, from his visit to San Diego. Thanks Ken! 12oz, screw cap, no date. Pours with little to no head, but a very small ring of small bubbles forms around the edge of the glass. Bubbles form when I swirl, but immediately dissapear. Amber color, crystal clear. Interesting aroma, possibly a long boil or some melanoidin. In general, the aroma is very light and hard to me to detect anything. There’s some off flavor in there, I’m having trouble perceiving. Maybe a hint of acidity, maybe a phenol or soap. It’s very mild in the aroma, It’s very dry, a little bitterness, as if no hops were used in the finish, just in the boil. A little harsh. Kind of a tannic bitterness as well.

12 ounce bottle. Amber with a thin head. Aroma -- malt and caramel. Taste had notes of sweet malt, caramel and some light hop bitterness. Similiar to some of the Octoberfest beers I’ve been sampling this time of year.

355 ml bottle. Pours a light to medium amber with an ample beige head. Nice malty nose with hints of spice and fruit. Medium malt-forward body offset with nicely hopped middle and a lingering semi-sweet finish.

Bottle from Friar Tuck in Savoy, IL. Pours a very nice translucent copper with a tan head. Aroma of bready grains, sugary malts, and spicy hops. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Initial flavor wet grains, bread, and caramel that transitions to a nice spicy hopped middle. There is a subtle amount of residual sweetness. Clean and slightly toasty finish. Hoppier than most viennas I have had, but everything is harmonious.
