Boulevard Dry Stout

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

The aroma had me thinking that I was holding a glass of sweet stout, lightly roasted malts, fresh coffee, creamy milk chocolate. Good looking brew, regardless of style - a dark, dark brown with a creamy light brown (not tan) head. There’s a hint of smoke in the flavor of the roasted malts. Another daub of chocolate and some iced coffee adds to the taste. Moderately dry finish. Not shabby.

12oz pours a chocolate black with a thin head. Aromas were on par for a weak stout, a little roast a hint of chocolate. The mouthfeel was very thin as well as the flavors a chocolate roastiness, a little chocolate. But overall to thin and weak flavored to do anything for me.

12-oz. bottle from tjthresh. Pours opawue with a thin patchy tan fizzy head. Aroma is dark roasted malt (hay), nutty, toast, leathery yeast. Medium sweet dark roasted malt, mild bitterness, no acidity, milky. Dark bodied and thin fizzy and oily palate.

Well, other than the appearance this is not good. Really a porr stout. Very glad the bartender let me sample this without buying it. Ick. (Maybe it was a skunked barrel though, who knows).

beer pours an impenetrable jet-black with a tan head that doesn’t retain well and leaves average lace. sharply roasty nose has an almost esprosso character with perhaps a hint of smokiness. flavor starts with an almost acrid coffee roastiness, but mellows a bit, allowing for some softer chocolate notes to come out. while this is a roasty beer, it doesn’t have the kick one should expect from a dry stout. almost too malty (relative to the style). still, a decent if fairly simple drinking stout.

Pours black with medium tan head which dissapates quickly. Aroma is roasted malt some coffee tones. Flavor is straight roasted malt almost expresso-ee. Smooth though a little to carbonated. Finishes quite dry. overall ok dry stout that is thirst quenching.

Pours a deep dark brown, with a very small tan head. Dark wheat aroma, with some roasted coffee and chocolate, flavor has lots of caramel with just a bit of acrid smokiness, dry finish like an ashtray. Kind of a boring stout.

Dark brown, nearly no head at all. Some roasty-caramel-malted aroma - very mild and not very striking or unique. It is very dry indeed! Almost ashy with dryness. Somewhat bitter, not-so-smooth finish.
