Boulevard Dry Stout

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

Subdued aroma featued chocolate and coffee. Pleasant but thin. Very dark pouring beer. Light was visible through it but the light had to be bright. Very little head, also. More was expected. Light lacing on the glass throughout. The beer was quite bitter and dry throughout but a very nice drinking beer. Palate was smooth. A very mild stout, perhaps closer to a porter in many ways.

Pours black with no head. Aroma of molasses, a little roast. Flavor is more molasses, roasts, and a hint o chocolate. Slightly watery, slightly bitter. Fair.

Poured with soft carbonation, small creamy light brown head that was mostly diminishing. Body is very dark, can’t even see through it. Nose is of molasses, dark chocolate, coffee. Initial flavor is sweet and lightly bitter. Finish is long and dry and reminds me of a very strong coffee and caramel. Very drinkable.

On tap at the Crescent Moon. Pours a deep brown to black withan off-white head. Sublime roasted aroma. Smooth mild palate. This is so awesomely drinkable that I could drink a bathtub full of this stout. It has a thick body and mouthfeel, but at the same time, drinks like water. An unusually pleasant stout.

Bottle shared courtesy of weeare138. Poured a dark black color (with red at the edges) and a very small sized off white head. Aromas and tastes of chocolate, roasted malts and light dark fruits.

Appears black with a faint white head that stays for a moment. Streaky lacing is left behind. Smell is of black patent malt with slight sweet fruitiness. Taste is of the same smell with not a whole lot going on to make me want more. Mouthfeel is semi dry and slightly sweet.

Poured an opaque black color with a small, light tan head that left no lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast, nuts, smoke, and light chocolate. Taste was chocolate, some roasted, and light toasted malt, with a faint tartness, almost metallic taste in the end. A little disappointing.

Served on tap at the KC Irish Fest. It was poured into a plastic cup, but I still think I got a fair evaluation. It was velvety black with and silky smooth nitro head on top. There where some very subtle roasted aroma. The soft roast carried through to the flavor. There is a bit of a sour tinge, and mild bitterness. This is a very light an refreshing stout. It was close to 90 degrees this day, and this beer really hit the spot.
