Boulevard Bourbon Barrel Quad

Yes, I am a sucker for Belgian style quadrupels, I'm a sucker for bourbon barrel aged brews...so naturally, a bourbon barrel aged quad...well...

Boulevard previously put out a beer called Sixth Glass, a quadrupel that I reviewed here:

This barrel aged beauty pours a dark honey hue with a tall tan head. Boulevard added some cherries after the aging process, ostensibly to make up for the portion that is absorbed by the barrels during the aging. Despite this, there's only a hint of cherry, but plenty of vanilla/oak aromas and some alcohol heat from the 11.2% ABV. Very much a sipping beer.
