Boulevard Dry Stout

Brewed by Boulevard Brewing Company
Style: Dry Stout
Kansas City, Missouri USA

Poured a deep black, almost fully opaque with a small tan head. Smelled like chocolate, but didnt really finish as long as I had hoped. Overall, it was alright, but nothing I would choose to drink every day.

Pitch black coloured body, 95% opaque with a nice dense light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, light coffee and a small amount of chocolate. Medium-bodied; Pungent taste of roasted malt and coffee with a light chocolate bitterness and a fresh clean aftertaste. Showing signs of hops and bitterness at the end, but very rounded and nice. Overall, a good dry stout - no harsh flavours at all and hardly any alcoholic twang to speak of. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on 04-February-2006 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

On tap at the flying saucer in KC. Pours a pitch black body with a thick and creamy buttery white head. Leaves a good amount of lacing and lingers for quite a long time. Milky aroma. Some chocolate and light roasts. Caramel. Similar taste. Very milky and creamy. Light bitterness and dusty milk chocolate. Sweet. Soft palate and very smooth. Overall, an easy drinking session beer and a decent offering from KC’s own.

Black with slight ring of a head. aroma is roast with some caramel. taste is chocolate and sweet coffee. light not quite watery mouthfeel, refreshing finish with a revitalizing coffee bitter. a nice stout.

Dark brown with a large foamy tan head. Slight roasty chocolate taste with a very dry finish. This definitely was not a smooth stout by any means. I was a bit dissapointed as I usually like boulevard beers quite a bit and was excited to see they had a stout.

Bottle. Dark brown, tan head... looks like a stout. Aromas of coffee and chocolate... smells like a stout. Flavors are fairly consistent, too. A mix of weak coffee and chocolate with a little a dry and maybe even slightly sour edge to it. Pretty good, but a rather simple beer.

This is a nice mellow stout with chocolate and burnt grain on the nose, and a nice coffee flavor. One complaint is that the finish is incredibly short, I like a stout that leaves you with flavor for more than a couple seconds. Maybe the bottle I had was old.... I like the Bully! Porter a lot more.

Bottle. Lovely roast and dark chocolate nose with light berries in the nose, hinting at mocha but not showing. Pitch pour with the usual gorgeous pillowy tan head. Taste is very, very dry with medium-strength burned notes and light nuttiness, not ashy but still evocative. Carbonation is strong (and somewhat excessive) in such a watery body, otherwise smooth feel throughout. Yeast has some nice mineral tones but comes off as a little too homebrewy. A little better than a standard session.
