valpoaj (310), Valparaiso, Indiana, USA Oct 30, 2007 Mahogany pour with fluffy tan head. Strong, pleasant aroma is sweet and malty with hints of citrus...just delicious! Flavor is dominated by malt flavors up front, but there’s some reminders of hops near the end. Slightly thin on the palate, but nothing too off for an Irish Ale. Dry finish leaves you clamoring for more...a great example of the style by Boulevard!
kosko20 (199), Bemidji, Minnesota, USA Jul 26, 2008 Golden red, toasty aroma but balanced with notes of something sweet...can’t put my finger on it. Flavor of malts, nuts, toast. Thin but smooth and dry finished, well balanced. esjaygee (918), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA Jul 19, 2008 Hazy red-brown with slowly dissipating thin off-white head. Aroma of toasted malts, nuts, sweet malts, caramel, brown sugar and mild citrus. Taste of caramel, nuts, sweet malt and mild citrus. A little thin on the body with a dry finish. Narnad (167), Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA Jun 22, 2008 Poured from the bottle dark red-brown in color with a small head that diminished after a minute or so. Aroma is sweet caramel with a good ester nose. Flavor is malty sweet, dry at the start and a great light creaminess throughout the drink. As it warms, the aroma notes really permeate the nose and enhances the flavor quite well. Pretty good Irish ale. mweber962000 (57), USA May 28, 2008 Caramel. Caramel. Love this brew though the caramel is somewhat overbearing. Smooth though. I have never had any complaints with boulevard brewing company. they put out fine products and this coming from an irishman, is one of their best. to note the nose gets better as you go. hopscotch (4678), Vero Beach, Florida, USA May 28, 2008 Bottle… Lightly hazed mahogany ale with a small, frothy, off-white head. Decent retention. Earthy, vinous aroma. Malty with lots of minerals and port esters. Medium-bodied and ultra-creamy with ticklish carbonation. Medium metallic bitterness surrounds a sturdy malt framework. Lengthy finish that is caramel-sweet up front, yet moderately bitter on the back of the tongue. <b>A big THANKS goes out to headbanger for shipping this bottle to me!</b>
