Thaks to Indra for this trade brew! Ruby highlights come through this deep dark brew that produces a full head of thick, tan, whipped cream head. Yeasty, malty aroma invites a sip of this malty smooth brew that goes over the tongue in perfect balance. Very nicely done Porter that can hold it’s own with the big names.

Pour is a very pale yellow. Aroma is non-existant. Flavor is also weak. I can’t even describe it b/c there is nothing there. There is much better out there.

Pour is a dark black with a small creamy head. Aroma is hoppy. Flavor is smoky and malty. Maybe a wee bit thin but very drinkable.

Pour is a nice light amber with a white head. Aroma is of weak hops. Flavor is also pretty weak in the hops department but the malts save this one. Decent but not outstanding.

Bottle Pours a very dark jet black with a small tan head. Nice even lacing. Aromas are a vary yummy sweet chocolatey smokey flavor but no bitterness. Flavors are less sweet more dry and smokey. Little hops but plenty of burnt malt and smokey goodness. A bit astringent and thin. Nice and drinkable. Thanks to HarfteeDark for sharing.

Bottled. Poured into a tall weizen glass, there’s a big wheaty head that dissipates rapidly, with little lacing. Light, cloudy body. Smell is a refreshing, light ’n’ zesty wheat, with just a tiny hint of lemony zest. Taste goes down easy, soft and a little spicy. No "extreme" taste but very nice. Couple weeks ago I ran into Boulevard’s brewmaster’s wife at Rock Bottom Chicago. She was looking for more good beer places, so I helped her locate more, while admitting that I hadn’t tried any Boulevard beers yet. Then on a trip through Iowa, I found them placed in Hy-Vee stores and happily picked up a six of this to try.

Pours a nice clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is toasty malt and a nice bready scent. Flavor is very hoppy for a lager. Alomg with the hops is the big malty flavor you get in the nose. Very drinkable and smooth.

This dry stout does pretty much everything it’s supposed to. Charcoal brown body with a thin tan head yields a dry roasted malt aroma. Flavor is classic dry roast (acidic and woody) with chocolate and a tangy bite. Solid.

Bottle: Poured a opaque dark beer with a medium head with standard retention for porter. Aroma is quite roasty with some notes of chocolate and coffee. Taste is very enjoyable with the chocolate and coffee mixing very well with the roastiness and ending with a subtle dryness in the back of my mouth. Good hops mix with an above average body. This is an easy beer to drink after a nice big dinner.

Acquired via trade. Pours a slightly translucent dark brown color with a medium thin beige head that disappeared pretty quickly. Very little lacing. The aroma is lightly roasty with coffee and a hint of chocolate. Medium-bodied and sort of watery at times. Coffee and hops in the flavor but not with much authority. The finish is dry and roasty. Overall this Stout is a bit of a letdown.
