Bought locally, bottled January 14th 2026.

It pours very dark brown with hues of red an inch of tan foam, very good retention and lacing.

The smell is sweet malt, wood, hint of chocolate, a bit of leather.

The taste is not as sweet as the smell, woody notes, leather, some vinous notes which I don't care for, and some alcohol.

Mouthfeel starts out but finishes on the thin side.
I have another bottle and that will be the last for me of this brew.

Bottle, 2025 vintage. Vanilla aroma with notes of roasted malt, chocolate, oak and bourbon. Pours deep brown with a thin mocha brown head that has some retention and very little lacing. Starts with rich roasted malt, chocolate and oak flavors as well as having a rich, full body and silky smooth mouthfeel. Finishes quite smooth with vanilla and bourbon flavors as well as a good warming booziness at the end. Goes hard on the vanilla and I’m not mad about it.

Bottle - light hazy dark amber - my pour does not kick up a head - nose is cherry, brandy, plum, treacle, brown sugar, moderate Belgian yeast phenols - presents as a straight up quad on the approach, lightly spicy - brandy and cherries through the middle and finish - down spice and basement Belgian yeast return for the finish (little Westmalle yeast character) - a little hot in the finish - it’s not super balanced, but it is good.

A golden ale with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light pumpkin spices, light cloves, pleasant and smooth. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with light Brett, light pumpkin spices, light cloves, pleasant and smooth. Surprisingly good for a close to 10 year old beer.

Bottle (enjoy by 9/10/28) from Valley Beverage, Sherman Oaks. Cloudy, maple syrup brown, nice sparkle, ring of head, trace lacing. Aroma is strong bourbon over caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, hint maple syrup. Taste is as aroma. Smooth texture, thin body, soft carbonation, finish as taste with late esophageal heat. Evokes pecan pie but without any nuts. Nice complexity but bourbon is a bit heavy-handed, especially for a pecan pie where it should be fairly subtle. Also, a bit sweet (even for a pecan pie). It's been forever and a day since I had my last Boulevard. As usual, a lot of good elements but something is always there that could use some improvement.
