Logs for beers from this brewery

Sweet, caramel candy-like with a touch of cinammon. Churro? Sure, I can see it.
Bottle at Home
Bottle at Home
Smells and opens with a super-realistic Hawaiian Punch character but then kind of overdoes the sweetness; combined with the strong hops it ends up tasting rooty and artificial. Honestly, made me feel a little ill.
Can at Home
Sweet initial taste but disappears perfectly away and doesn't over stay it's welcome. Unmistakeable pineapple smell and taste, maybe that's what I really like. Whatever this is this is a perfect summer beer.
Can
This is very nice, and I appreciate it came in a small bottle. Caramel, vanilla, hint of raisin and slightly tart from the port. Very smooth. Just a bit tacky in the throat, which is the only thing holding it from perfection, but maybe with age it'll get better.
Bottle at Home
Has the aspect of a sour, sparkly merlot more than a beer - grape, tannins, caramel, prune, wood. Refreshing, it was not.
Light, creamy porter with strong smooth caramel, the body itself is not sweet but rather sits at the edge of sourness. There's a slight hint of rubbing alcohol / sake in the booze flavor and that's not exactly delicious. It's way better than the Bale Breaker though.
Boulevard Rye On Rye (unknown release)
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Tart, lime, shortbread cookies, very buttery.
Boulevard Plaid Habit (unknown release)
Cloudy, butterscotch-y ale with quite a lot of whiskey character. Very well balanced, all told. Super-tasty.
Lightly roasty porter with some faint coffee notes and a round lactic smoothness. Pretty tasty, although the finish is a little sour/tacky on the back of the throat.
The utter flatness of the beer is strange at first, but it passes by quickly. Very solid stout, and omg, this tastes like a Manhattan. Sweet and lightly woody, fruit and caramel. This'll knock you out quick, but you'll have a great time while it happens.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Smooth, caramel, surprisingly mellow. Whiskey notes and a bit of a bite on the finish. Really very tasty.
Thin stout, roasty, lots of whiskey character. Very enjoyable.
Can't recall anything about it, one glass had me hammered. I think I liked it? It seemed very dark??? I don't remember most of yesterday evening now.
Bottle at Home
Really good. I wish I'd taken better notes at the time. At least I know there's another bottle in the fridge.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Mild but well flavored coffee Porter. Very nice.
Almost sour, but with a sharp barrel aged undertone.
Meh. It's fine. Some bitterness, some sort of fruit, something like a red ale. I guess I don't really like it .
Whiskey on the nose and in the aftertaste, with a strong caramel malt (but somewhat dry - not sweet) flavor. Very faint hints of lemon and licorice bring the "Sazerac" character, I guess, although it was very subtle.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Still interesting ginger lemon mixture .
Smooth bourbon on the nose, hitting all the right notes. Flavor actually veers a tiny bit toward the fruity side, making me wonder if there were any wine barrels involved. Smooth, with only a hint of maybe too much caramel sticking out.
All the standard flavors of a Dupont-style saison, but with a darker caramel presence and a very round, fruity yeast flavor that doesn't run in the standard banana or bubblegum direction. Very smooth and tasty!
Bottle tasting at Work
It's more tart lemon and ginger than beer.
Unexpectedly bitter quality throughout - not overpowering or unpleasant but usually saisons have no bitterness to speak of. Tastes of ripe peach, no yeast funk.
Bottle at Home
Way lighter looking than expected, but quite chocolatey and crisp
Lots of caramel malt sweetness in addition to floral-fruity hops. Barely bitter finish, and the strength is well-hidden.
Bottle
A malty lager, reminds me of Budweiser... to be fair it IS better in that it doesn't have a weird corn-syrupy aftertaste, but it's a bit sweet on the palate and the finish from the malts and just doesn't really have much flavor. Maybe a hint of ripe fruit but barely.
Bottle at Home
Warm bready cereal body, good character. Dry, slightly acidic finish. Peppery kick from middle to finish. Alcohol bite thanks to 12% ABV.
Bottle
Boulevard Rye On Rye (unknown release)
A little bit sweet, reminded me more of a rum than a rye to me.
Boulevard Rye On Rye (unknown release)
Sweet syrup smell, like a liquer. Tastes brighter and thinner but with a nice rum-malt taste.
Boulevard Rye On Rye (unknown release)
Powerful whiskey on the nose with a really well-balanced mix of malty ale and rye barrel character in the flavor. No one aspect of this beer jumped out and proclaimed itself as being remarkable, but just, overall, really well done and tasty.
Lots of flaky sediment seemed scary at first, but this was a nice, bready beer with an unexpected, dry acid opening. Maybe slight hints of lemon or banana, but nothing overt. Finishes super-clean - I liked it a lot!
Bottle at Home
I could keep nosing that beer forever. The taste is a real disappointment, badly balanced and none of the smell comes through.
Smells amazing, with a strong whiff of Bourbon and caramel and good strong beer. The flavor is less-balanced, with an awkward cherry finish and a syrupy tartness that cloys in the throat. It wasn't bad, but if you're going to splurge for barrel-aged beer there are far better options.
Too much carbonation. The flavors come out after it warms up a bit.
Out of the bottle it shoots up with a huge head that goes down bitter. If you let it warm up and the head recede it's got a really nice mix of toasted caramel and deceptively huge hops with a touch of whisky barrel that is subtle but helps smooth it out.
Pour very slowly and carefully, this will foam like mad otherwise. Clean finish but middle like coke, caramel. Improves when it gets warmer, taste and smell.
A caramel stout with subtle hints of coffee. Mild on my pallet, this stout can best be described as inoffensive. Should be imbibed with friends, but not with food. Mostly forgettable.
