Boulevard – Snow & Tell Oak Aged Scotch Ale

We brought you the news that this beer was coming and now we get to show you the actual packaging.  This is Boulevard Snow & Tell and it is an oak aged Scotch ale that uses Magnum, Chinook and Styrian Goldings hops.  This beer is packaged in 12oz bottles and it will hit 6.3%-AbV.  Look for a Nov/Dec release.

This from Boulevard:

Snow & Tell, our newest winter seasonal beer, is being released to coincide with the change in the weather that occurs in the Midwest as we transition from crisp fall days into cooler, brisk nights. A malt blanket of sorts, Snow & Tell is our interpretation of aScotch Ale or Wee Heavy. Ranging in alcohol from 6% up to 10% in more extreme examples of the style, Scotch Ales typically feature rich, caramel malt sweetness punctuated by spicy/herbal hops.

At 6.3 ABV, Snow & Tell is composed of our base pale malt, crystal/caramel malt, amber malt and just a touch of Beechwood smoked malt from Germany. At just under 1% of the total malt bill, the smoked malt lends subtle complexity without overpowering the layers of caramel and toffee flavors contributed by the crystal malt. Hopped with Magnum, Chinook and Styrian Goldings, Snow & Tell sees brief aging on medium toasted oak chips at the end of fermentation.

Look for Snow & Tell in six packs of twelve ounce bottles and on draft where you’d normally find our seasonal releases. Deliveries of kegs will begin on Monday, November 2nd and bottles will begin being delivered on Tuesday, November 3rd.
