Boulevard Dry Stout

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.

One of the lighter colored stouts I have tried. Fairly flat flavor profile. Bitter. Roast coffee, malt. Not much of a flavor left afterwards. Not much to distinguish it from anything.

Bottle at home from sample 12 pack on December 4, 2008. Nice light brown head. Thick, dark brown -nearly- black color with an orange hue. Dry stout aroma with a hint of sweetness. Flavor is a little oaky with a sweet, hoppy undertone. A little sweetness hits the tip of the tongue after the drink goes down, leaving no other unique or distinguishable finish. Very decent.

Pours very dark brown/black in color. No head forming on the pour. Smell is roasted black malts and some slight coffee. Taste is a bit more astringent coffee. Some more roasted malt, but not much else going on. A little bitter and astringent on the mouthfeel. Smooth and a bit thin. Decent, but I much prefer their Bully Porter over all the others.
