Boulevard Love Child No 6 Release Begins Today (12/1)

Stay tuned later today for updates, but this from Boulevard:

Love Child No. 6 drops in the KC area starting today with other cities to follow soon!   This release is a blend of wood aged strong Belgian-style blonde.

From Jeremy Danner:

The sixth bottling in our Love Child series represents a bit of a departure from previous releases. Starting at the beginning, Love Child beers have a blend of soured Bourbon Barrel Quad and a Flanders-style sour red aged in previously used whiskey barrels. As the series progressed, the blends were composed primarily of the Flanders-style red aged in a variety of previously used whiskey and wine barrels, stainless tanks, and afoeder. For this reason, there’s been a steady decline in ABV from Love Child No. 1 (12.5 ABV) to more recent releases that fell in the 8-9.5% range.

The base beer for Love Child No. 6 is a strong Belgian-style blonde ale. Following primary fermentation with our house Belgian yeast strain, the beer was transferred into previously used wine barrels and stainless vessels and inoculated with lactobacillus and brettanomyces. At the end of 18 months, our brewing and quality teams met to taste samples from wine barrels and our stainless aging tanks to create the blend. After tasting and tinkering, we finalized a blend composed of 70% wine barrel aged beer and 30% stainless aged beer.

Love Child No. 6 is a limited release that is available exclusively in 750 mL bottles.
