Pours hazy orange with off white head.
Aroma, cherries, overall bourbon nose was hard to discern and was a lot more present in the taste.
Taste has little notes of fruits light tart/sour finish. Overall wood and barrel mouthfeel is not overly present giving it a touch of vanilla.
Full body, Boulevard has done it again. Hank1980 (765), Athens, Georgia, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 19, 2009 Very good. Very malty with some caramel and tofee tones and an intense aftertaste. Great color and nice tapestry, too. I enjoyed this one and if you like barely wines (this isn’t as sweet as many barely wines though), you should like this.
