Year of New Beer: Bourbon Barrel Quad, Boulevard Brewing (MO)

Written By: Dion on 11/04/2016

Some days call for a little more punch. This was one of them, and this brew is up to the challenge. Mild cherries combine with dates, raisins, and sweet caramel on the nose. Only with warmth does the bourbon make its presence felt. On the tongue, slightly tart cherries give way to the raisins and a touch of sweet, cooked apples. Caramel and a faint chocolate are intertwined with a bit of oak and bourbon heat. This is quite good, especially given the price.
