2025 bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a pink, ruby hue with a finger of white foam that lingers. Strawberry focused nose with vanilla, and cakey notes on the nose and palate. More of the same on the palate. Quite enjoyable, but defiinitely leans on the sweet side.

On draft as part of a flight at Global Brew, Evansville. Clear gold, no sparkle, nice head with excellent retention and tons of soapy lacing. Aroma is clove, mild banana, fruity esters and caramel. Taste is strong fruity esters, clove, caramel malt. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste.

Brewer describes it as a Belgian Quad, but I don’t taste a Belgian influence. It’s more of a straight strong ale. Cherry is subtle, not fruity or sweet. I didn’t have it after a meal, but I think of it as a dessert beer.

At one time early in my ratings career I thought Boulevard to be my favorite brewery. Then I figured out there were many good quadrupels, my favorite style, being brewed just about everywhere. Struise, White Pony, Lost Abbey, Nogne O, de Molen, The Bruery, Ommegang doing some really great things, Boulevard slipped behind. Recently Boulevard has been hitting the mark with their Proper Pour imperial stouts in various barrels. Tonight I have their Double Barrel-Aged version to sample, a 12 oz bottle that I obtained fortunately in Ft. Worth a couple of months back. A globe glass arrayed, I make the pour. A dark brown body, almost black, followed by a simple ring of light tan foam around the glass. The nose is exquisite. Dark chocolate, a vinous quality, dark plums and baked bread. The taste is equally good or even better. Raspberries, chocolate, wine barrel, scorched bread, some booziness, plenty of malt and a decent little ending bitterness. Fine brew. Wish I had bought another or perhaps several. It is getting harder to find imperial stouts like this one.

Cinnamon churro vibe for sure. Light roast but any notion of a brown is pretty buried here. Like an imperial pastry brown. Pretty sweet finish, with some bourbon. Clear brown pour with ok head. Bottle.

Barrel and a little leather. A little caramel but this is only the dry side. Some musk, whisky. Maybe light florals. Dark brown pour with pretty good head. A little whisky in the finish with some caramel. Pretty nice beer. Bottle.
