Collaboration #3 Stingo was brewed using traditional English ingredients. A variety of ale and specialty malts from Yorkshire are at the forefront; their pronounced roasty aroma and flavor contain hints of toffee, cocoa and bread crust. English hop varieties contribute subtle herbal, peppery qualities. The beer was brewed in batches; some was fermented on oak, some was fermented normally, and some was allowed to sour in the mash tun before being transferred to a fermenter. Boulevard’s brewers, along with Dann and Martha Paquette of Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project, then blended the batches until desired levels of wood and tartness were achieved for the final product.

Poured from 750mL corked & caged bottle into a tulip.
Appearance: rich, dark amber-brown hue with ruby highlights. Body appears to be relatively free of haze and the head is a thick finger of pillowy tan foam with a nice retention. Quite lovely.
Smell: raisins, prunes, pears, raw tobacco, dust and alcohol. I'm completely sold!
Taste: kind of tart and astringent at first; the deeper, darker flavors appear on the palate over time and in the aftertaste. Dank and appealing, though not quite so much as the aroma.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess. Not as nice as I would have liked, but good nonetheless.
Overall: a tasty beer, although I do wish the flavor were a little bit more like the aroma. That wonderful aroma!

This one’s really nice. Sweet with some mild bitterness. Dark brown body with initial high foamy head, that settles into nice creamy, tight beige head. Aroma of roast grains, molasses, brown sugar wood. Taste is initially sweet, hint of dry burnt toast bitterness, finish is dry, mildly sweet (raisins?)

From old, undated notes. Had this on draft.
Murky brown color.
Nice off-white head; strong lace.
Malted lager smell; slight breadiness.
Hint of chocolate in the taste; a slight hop smack on the lips.
Above average.

Has a chocolate and prune nose that suggests a dark, moist freak fruit cake. It pours barely translucent chestnut to mahogany under a 2” light foam cap that slowly dissipates. This has an intensely creamy, foamy palate with chocolate, prune, dried fruit, sherry, and treacle with a very light funk. It is very effervescent – almost like eating a foam or very light mousse. It becomes more creamy as it settles down and a slight alcohol warming becomes more apparent. Boulevard should brew more of this.
