Boulevard bourbon barrel quad.
I picked up a 750 of this to share at dinner, and liked it. Look for the fifth glass, and you've got the base flavors of the barrel aged.
It's a rather heavy drink, with a smoothness that is almost syrupy on the palate. Light on the hops, with a malty character. It seemed less powerful than the fifth, IIRC. The description given states that the beer is aged on cherries and then put into barrels. I did notice a faint fruitiness to it, and a hint of char, but otherwise, nothing I could recognise as barrel aging. They blend the kegs before bottling. The fifth was recommended as a beer to cellar,IIRC, but I I doubt that it is a good idea for this one. Half of the bottle remained. I poured a glass warm the next day, and again on Saturday. It was even better Saturday. Drink lightly chilled. |
