boulevard dark truth stout.

Okay, dark truth is part of the "smokestack" series. The boulevard brewery has a landmark smokestack on the building, and they named the special edition beers for it.

Dark truth comes in 12 and 750 corked bottles. I've had their "9th glass" before and just bought some twelves of the stout.

The tasting notes say that there are fruity notes, smokiness, and rich hop spiciness.

My impression was good toasted grains flavor, a slight smokiness, a nice spiciness from the hops, a bit of espresso like bitterness, and maybe, just maybe, a little fruitiness. I didn't really get much out of that.

Being a carbonated stout, it had the carbonic acid bite and some fizz to it, as opposed to the watery taste of nitrogen stouts, or a whole lot of other stouts, but it still came up with a good head.

It's not an imperial stout. What it is is a super heavy stout, with no sweetness or weaknesses. it has a heavy bite to it, and no lack of flavor or body.

9% abw.

Score: 8.5-9.0, and a real bargain, IMO, at $2 a bottle or $8 for the corked 750.
