Dark Truth Stout, by Boulevard

To match the name I tried to go for a dark, noir-esque look
This is a picture of the 12 oz bottle compared to the more popular 16oz

Since this blog is based out of Kansas City it should be no surprise that you will be seeing a lot of Boulevard Beers here.
            This Dark Truth Stout poured very oily and by the time the glass was filled up only black could be seen.  A finger size head laid on top, caramel in color. A little bit of a fruit smell meets the nose, perhaps coming from the type of yeast used, with hints of spicy components coming into play. 
            It tasted like a log cabin in a glass. It started off a little spicy and then a strong smoky flavor took over that ended very dry.
            As the head (and beer) began to disappear from the glass a very nice lining remained. 
             Overall a very good beer to accent a cigar or smoked sausage, or just accent it with the other five bottles in the pack.
