Pours black with no head or foam on top. Aroma delivers a wave of medium-roasted coffee, milk and dark chocolate, Mexican spices, and mocha. It's huge, with barrel and bourbon showing up in the aroma as well. Flavor profile is powerful and unbridled. It delivers decadent notes of medium-roast, medium-body coffee, dark and milk chocolate, mocha, Mexican spices, and a boozy, bourbon finish. It hits in at 15.6% ABV, and delivers every bit of that body in the aroma and flavor profile. Mouth feel is thick, and hearty with a velvety feel. Overall, it's big, boozy, and balanced. Every note of this stout stands out forming a mighty, hearty stout.

Hands down the most powerful, and heavy-hitting beer I have ever had the pleasure of sipping on from Boulevard, and one of the best I've had of all time.

Served in a 5oz snifter. Draft at Boulevard Hall only.
