Dec 13, 2008 Bottle from Valley Farm Market. Light ruby in color on the pour. Very sweet candy aromas. Some dark fruitiness and fig. Some hoppiness as well. Flavor is sweet and hopped with a good amount of maltiness. Fairly well balanced. Nice little ale.

Dec 13, 2008 Pour is red brown with a creamy tan head. Aromas of nutmeg, light fruit, and molasses. Some light hops are maintained within the background. A somewhat sweet, but rather enjoyable brew. Some of these lower ABV beers that Boulevard puts out are very solid within their respective styles. Very solid!

Dec 9, 2008 a nice amber with a thin off white head. Aroma is toasty malt, a little earthy, light cherry fruitiness. Flavour was again toasty caramel malt, some molasses and light spice and dark fruit... Keg made it real cloudy, then settled in about 3 minutes.

Dec 6, 2008 Typical winter beer big on the rich maltiness. Some of the Chinook hops present throughout. Alcohol a bit on the weak side for an English Strong.

Dec 5, 2008 On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a bright, cherry oak brown. Darker, but clear. Small creamy off-white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a moderate lace. Aroma is almond and nutty. Lots of sweet toffee/caramel malts. Some roasted grains and sharp citrus hops in there. Maybe some dark fruit notes too, hard to tell...maybe raison or cherry. Little bit of brown sugar and molasses as well. Taste is very similar to the aroma. Sweet, toffee/caramel maltiness up front along with the piney/citrus hoppiness. Slightly roasted middle and a dry and moderately bitter finish. Long lingering earthy hop taste and some nuttiness. Medium bodied and a little bit of carbonation. Overall, very balanced and flavorful. Not too sweet in the least bit. I like the nut/hop/roast mix a lot. A great beer from beginning to beyond the end.

Nov 30, 2008 2007 bottle, courtesy of Argo0. Pours an attractive deep red/mahogany with a dense off-white head. Caramel, pear, molasses, bread and some christmas spiciness in the nose. Flavor has a strong caramel/toffee malt back bone then earthy/herbal hop character, apple, brown sugar, light pine and wood. Very well-balanced - not too sweet. Very full, round and creamy on the palate with moderate carbonation. Nice beer.
