Boulevard Bully! Porter

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

Pours like black coffee. Huge tan head that stuck to the glass. Aroma was a little thin and smelled more sweet than roasty. Taste is a bit thin and tart. No coffee taste at all like I was hoping for. An easy drinking porter.

Bottle. Nose is slightly bitter, but mostly a nice tobacco leaf and roasted malt smell. Flavor is initially the roasty nose, with a nice tartness midway through, a bit of bitter chocolate and just a slight hop bitterness to round out the dry finish. Uber-drinkable porter. Another winner from Boulevard.

12oz bottle. Deep brown, a tinge of red at the thinner part of my glass, with a foamy tan head that sits pretty atop the brew. Nose brings some chocolaty malt and a little coffee-like roasted note. A bit more of the same in the flavor, although there’s a stronger hop note throughout. Doesn’t quite have the big body of a porter like Black Butte, which is something I tend to look for in a nice porter.. Well-constructed and not too shabby, but not really a top porter.

12 oz bottle of let down. I was hoping for a nice toasty/chocolatey porter but instead I got a bottle that made me wish it was a yuengling Black & Tan. Poured an okay looking deep dark brown with a large slightly foamy light beige head. Aroma just wasn’t there with hardly any detectable notes but what I could pick up was notes sour vinegar and chocolate, green leafy vegtables and wet earth(really a nice way of saying mud). Body was itself was thin but the mouthfeel was full with some fizzing up when it passes your lips, strong stingy carbonation. Flavor was actually even more watered down then te weak aroma on the front side some sour vinegar and light cheap sugary chocolate. The aftertaste kicks in with some decent roasted and burnt malts and that’s it. Not much here at all.

Another bottle from the nice half of the mixed pack. Thick brown head keeps a firm watch on the dark brown liquid beneath. Malty aroma. Very nice porter. Chocolate and roast malt.

Bottle pours dark brown with eggshell head. Chocolate and roasted marshmallow aroma. Great anilla sweetness then some roastiness and an awesome espresso finish! Great porter.

Had this one bottled, thanks to Wyl!! Opaque, oily dark brown pour with a persistent, thick tan head, chocolate malty nose, brown sugar and malty flavor, slightly bitter hints of coffee, an excellent sample of the style.

Darrrrk brown with tan head. Aroma is amazing! Brown sugar, molasses, dark malts. Mmm... Taste is a fantastic porter. Some sweet maltiness, lots of brown sugar and caramel. Still, it’s got some dark roast flavors too. I like the balance and I like the aroma a lot. Very delicious
