Boulevard Dry Stout had notes of caramel, chocolate, and the slightest hint of cola in its aroma. For this style, the head was average-sized but short-lived. The flavor seemed earthy to me, with my palate detecting peat and espresso. There was a bit of a taste of raw alcohol, which indicated a need for aging to me. It had a nice mouthfeel.

Although aficionados of dry stouts will probably not like this very much, this reviewer (who likes sweet stouts and Imperial stouts) thinks it’s the best example of the style that he’s ever had.
