BOULEVARD DRY STOUT
Unassuming soft-bodied black velvet dry stout segues from subtle smoked nuttiness to light toasted hop bitterness, but sedate carbonation and lack of proper chocolate malting undo any creamy significance.
BOULEVARD BULLY! PORTER
Deep roasted nuttiness pierces burnt coffee dryness, dewy earthiness, and milk chocolate reminder to oily finish of ruby-glowed porter.
BOULDER SWEATY BETTY BLONDE
Lackluster straw-clouded dry-bodied wheat ale brings peppered citric hop spicing to faint banana-clove meadow. Mild white bread-like yeast provokes mildewed lemongrass souring countering wafted creamed corn sweetness. Fine for plowing by the poolside.
BOULDER SUNDANCE AMBER ALE
Slim malt capacity, wispy honeyed biscuit trifle, and sedate barley roast gather soft wheat bed, but phenol cocoa bean-soured coffee tangent and plain grain finish wilt.

(BOULDER) OBOVOID EMPIRICAL STOUT

BOULDER NEVER SUMMER ALE
Aggressively hop-embittered ruby-browned winter celebrator trickles brown sugared mocha-vanilla malting atop cocoa-powdered cinnamon-ginger spicing, honey nut glaze, and tertiary fig-prune-plum nuances. Tea-like midst surges to sherry-like finish, absorbing some lingered phenol acidity.
(BOULDER) KILLER PENGUIN BARLEYWINE ALE
Mild auburn-cleared barleywine (with unassuming 10% alcohol volume) places tongue-snagging cherry, tangerine and grape sweetness above dry earthen hop bittering, settling to candied red apple luster. Creamy chocolate-cocoa malting centers stimulating fruited assemblage as sugarplum, vanilla and maple illusions vie for tertiary position.
