Oct 20, 2009 Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Dark black, opaque, with a small brown head. Aroma is chocolately, alcohol, hops, and a sharp spiciness. Taste is chocolately, alcoholic, some type of whiskey/bourbon. Smooth drinking-very easy going down. Well done.

Oct 18, 2009 Bottle courtesy of ericandersnavy. There might be a loaf of bread hiding in this bottle somewhere with how much bread is on the nose. Taste has similar elements as on the nose with a sweetness making its way through. Flavorful and sweet. Way cool!

Oct 1, 2009 Batch 2008-1, bottle 02158 of 11960. Purchased in Jan ’09, cellared for 9.5mo. Served in a short Blvd chalice. Anise, dark fruits and cocoa in the nose. Deep, dark red color with a large, thick mocha colored head. The beer is thick and lubricious, but the finish is mostly clean, with just a bit of residual sweetness. The flavor is roasty, cocoa, vanilla, rum and dark fruits. The nicest thing about this beer is the drinkability. Boulevard has made a thick and flavorful imperial stout without a hugely sweet finish, lots of bitterness or too much barrel character. Every flavor is harmonious and the Belgian character of the beer is evident. I’m glad I saved a bottle, I remember not enjoying it as much new. Not sure if it was me not appreciating how unique this beer is or because a little age on the beer helps it out.

Sep 25, 2009 Pours with a black body topped by a thick head with a good amount of lacing left on the glass. It’s sweet and malty with nice chocolate notes and a little bitterness as well as some roast and alcohol. Full bodied, warming and well carbonated.
