The overwhelming success of the channels first beer review- craft beers darling- Past Blue
Ribbon, has encouraged me to waste some more of your time with another beer- ok it just
gives me an excuse to drink.
Todays’s liver workout is to Boulevard’s sixth glass Quadruple Ale, which sounds suspiciously
like a gross math problem.
Or maybe the name itself is a challenge- Drink all six without ruining a single friendship!
The Sixth Glass is a face punch of a Quadruple Ale at 10.2 percentage points of alcohol at
volumes.
Edging your other fine high gravity favorite steel reserve.
A flute of our finest reserve sir!
Why thank you that’s all I’ll need.
Quadruples are dark, sweet, strong, and have a noticeable taste of alcohol.
Boulevards product page mentions a passage from a book, and a description of something
dark auburn and full -bodied, which together sounds like nothing but trouble.
Alright lets look at the sauce.
Goddamn it where’s the tulip!
First off you’ll notice if my hand wasn’t in the way it’s got that cypress swamp water
reddish brown . Actually cypress…
The beer is lightly hazy, but not dense and with light bubblage.
So as a response to one guy who didn’t get it on my last video- I’ll give everyone
here the pour they deserve.
Also the longer the video the better it is, Youtube algorithm probably.
So if I can waste some time by pouring beer and not cutting away I’m gonna do it.
Ok let’s take in it’s stank… sweet and malty with a little bit of caramel.
You know I have this beer review tip sheet in front of me.
I mean I’m not making it up, I’m just trying to sound like the kind of guy you don’t
want to have a beer with it.
Alright, let’s drank it.
This beer is probably like room temperature minus 10 degrees.
I’ll be honest, the stronger the beer the colder I like it- so I’ll just see my way
out.
There isn’t much hoppiness to it- it’s bold and the alcohol and sweetness really
give it the bulk of the punch.
It’s a little spicy but not much, however my taste buds have been ravaged by years of
fried chicken, nachos, skittles, and cheap beer.
It also has a lightly sweet grain after taste.
Carbonation is moderate.
And there’s a flat pungent mouth feel, a phrase that that don’t make no damn sense.
Ok, so I like Boulevard- because they make interesting beers.
I’m from Missouri, and their unfiltered wheat beer was an early favorite of mine.
Quadruples are those sorts of Belgians I always want to like more than I do.
They’re a step below Barley wines for me… which have still left a scar on me to this
day.
Let me set the scene I was a fragile young college kid, who gagged on Micheloebs- because
beer was strong and gross- and I read an article about a really interesting beer in the magazine
for Douchebags Details about Barleywine ales.
I was like that sounds really cool- I’ll try one.
Since then- almost 20 years ago I think I’ve had a Barleywine twice?
I’ve never become a real boy even.

I feel like I lost the spirit of the PBR review with this one.
I shouldn’t have read anything about beer reviews.
