This name comes from the notorious red light district of some 100 years ago in which Front Street Brewery is located. An extra dark, almost black bottom brew, smooth with a slight coffee flavor, achieved by the use of highly roasted barley and black malts. This beer is known as the espresso of beers. Bucktown soon becomes the favorite of the adventuresome.

I tried this beer at the brewery whilst in the area on Biznet. It poured an opaque dark with tan head that left some lace. The scent had hints of roast and chocolate. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with roast and toffee presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with smooth carbonation. Overall it was a good beer.

Had a growler of the Bucktown Stout brought to Canada for me.
A smooth stout, that drinks well. Decent abv, but, not overpowering.
If I ever make it down to Davenport, I'd gladly drink a pint.

a fairly generic stout, pouring a flat dark brown color into a pint glass. looks a little lifeless, but the nose is alright, with english malt, some caramel notes, a lot of roast and smoke, and an earthy sort of appeal. flavor is pretty dull to me, a little on the sweet side, but the malt profile just isnt as big and round as i like in a stout, i dont pick up hardly any coffee or chocolate notes, and the whole thing just seems a little thin. still, its not offputting at all, nothing offensive or horribly wrong here, just not a real exciting or inspired stout. mouthfeel continues the trend. its just too light in body, runny almost, and the carbonation is well short of where it needs to be. a sugary finish confirms this is a beer i wont order again. however, the other offerings at front street brewery were all pretty good, so dont let this one turn you off from visiting the place.
