Commercial Description:
Based loosely on the Smokestack Series Sixth Glass, this abbey-style quadrupel, after fermentation on cherries, was separated into a number of oak bourbon barrels, where is aged for varying lengths of time, in some cases as long as a year. Selected barrels were then blended for optimum flavor. The resulting beer retains only very subtle cherry characteristics, with toffee and vanilla notes coming to the fore.

Bottle, courtesy kiefdog. Brassy red pour, huge white head and sticky lacing. Wet hoppy nose, some dark candied fruit, pears, plum, slight spicy element. Very nice rich full dark fruit flavor, pear, and other spices. Slight bourbony woodsy note. Nice, full-bodied, and tons of flavor. Enjoyed it.

courtesy of kiefdog 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.

Bottle shared. Poured dark brown with a nice white head. Aroma of fruit, cherries, oak, alcohol, malt, spice. Taste is also nicely malted, with some vanilla, cherry, spice, and oak as well. Lots of caramel sweetness. Very nicely balanced, though a little hot. Finish is warming and smooth. Body is full and carbonation is mild. Overall, an interesting and enjoyable brew.

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.
