Boulevard Dry Stout

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

Darkness in it’s fullest expression matches the look of this brew, but the head is not as impressive, slim and soon gone. Aroma: slick, viscous, dark, molasses-like, slightly syrupy...but doesn’t stand out in the right way. Lays kind of flat, after a while. Taste: underwhelming, flinty, dark, but lacks in texture, carbonation, mouthfeel, body. Does have a fuller body, but not as full as it ought to, and lacks considerably in character. Blah. Blech. Hooey. Dry, yes, but seriously shy in flavor. Maybe it’s easy to drink, but easy to like, if you’re like me and you yearn for something significant in flavor. I wanted to like it, but there’s no way around this one...sorry...

Thanks to heemer for this beer from a while back pours dark w/ a very small tan head.Smells of licorice and chocolate w/ some other malt and a dryness to the aroma. Palate is pretty solid. The flavor is sweet dark fruits w/ brown sugar hint of semi chocolate and a dry hop finish.

dark pour on nitro , with that tan head we always mension with this style. small nose of toffee, coffee. roasted coffee and subtle choce flavors flick the tongue with a small amt of bitterness at the end. easy to drink.

The best part of this beer is its appearance. The palate is weak and flavors too washed out for a good stout in my opinion. It poors a nice black beer with a good light brown head. ARomas is roasty with some hint of chocolate. Flavor is too light but has typical roasty and coffee flavors. Some hops bite present in the finish.

Had this on tap. Short tan head that stuck around a bit. Dark as night. Nitrogenated. Roasty flavor and aroma. Easy on the palate, so very drinkable. Not a hint of sweetness. Excellent brew.

Bottled, thanks beerhandy! Black, small head. Fairly sweet with lots of coffee and some molasses. Clean, fizzy mouthfeel, medium bitterness.

A very flavorful and drinkable stout. Has a fantastic smokiness and leaves a heavy aftertaste deep in the throat for continual enjoyment. The thing that really sells me on this beer is its smoky flavor and drinkability. This is definately an old standby for when I can’t find anything new to try but want something yummy.

Draught - As expected, there were hints of roasted coffee and a little chocolate in the aroma and flavor. Nice creamy head. It’s pretty straight-forward and simple. Nothing out of the ordinary.
