boulevards smokestack series

love child number 2!!!

 

BBQ!

 

Just drank a Saison Brett this past Sunday. It was tasty. Sadly I had one of the infected Chocolate Ale's last winter, but I did get a refund from them. Lots of respect for Boulevard.

 

I really enjoy the Smokestack series. I've had all of them that have been out in the past 2 years now. Standouts to me were the Rye-on-Rye, BBQ, SB, Love Child #2, Chocolate Ale, Imp. Stout and Seeyoulator. Seeyoulator fresh was like getting hit in the mouth with a cedar 2x4, and I loved it.

I didn't care that much for Nommo Dubbel. I haven't had the Harvest Wheat Wine lately to remember how it was.

Grainstorm Black Rye IPA is coming in January. I haven't had the opportunity to try it yet, but the brewery is pretty stoked on how it turned out. It will be available in limited draft and 750s.

“Just when you thought it was safe to come out of the root cellar, along comes Grainstorm, a big, wet wallop to the sense. Dark clouds gather on the horizon of your glass. A high-pressure system of pungent hops collides with a stationary front of barley, oats, wheat, and rye. The froecast: a monsoon of flavor with surges of roasty malt, microbursts of fruity notes, and a chance of golfball-sized hail. The extended outlook calls for unseasonably pleasant enjoyment.”

 

My favs:
Chocolate Ale
Love Child #2

 

Imperial Stout (just had a 2011 a moth ago so good)
Saison Brett

 

BBQ. Loved how it got a little sour. Yum.

 

I tried it about a year ago now, and the cedar had faded a good amount. It was still there, but not near like it was when fresh. I have 1 bottle left that I randomly picked up in Iowa somewhere. Guess it would be good to try again, or to send your way if you want? Wasn't an expensive bottle, but the cellaring will cost ya ......kidding

 

saison brett, love child 2 and bbq are outstanding and the price point is unbeatable

love being able to get boulevard. so awesome to see the progress they have made as a brewery.

 

BBQ, Saison Brett, Rye on Rye. Looking forward to Black Rye IPA

 

Anyone know when the BBQ comes out? I missed out on it last year. Looking forward to snagging a bottle this year!

 

Sixth Glass Quad exceptionally nice in this cold weather, forget the hot coffee!!

 

Last I heard, they didn't feel like it was "ready" yet. Postponed until further notice.

 

BBQ all the way the stuff is amazing

 

Second.

I prefer the original recipe to the new one. The original was pretty harsh when fresh, but was amazing with some time on it. I still have a batch one kicking around somewhere.

 

Id say for myself:
Rye on Rye
Imp Stout
Long Strange Tripel
