Boulevard Steep Drop! Nitro Coffee Milk Stout

Boulevard Steep Drop! Nitro Coffee Milk Stout. "Dark. Velvet. Roast."
Brewed with Fair Trade, Small Batch Coffee. 5.2 % ABV. 23 IBU.
Brewed and packaged by Boulevard Brewing, Kansas City, MO.

Dark brown color, slim beige head. Lookin' okay.

In the nose: Light roast. Earth, coffee flavors shine through, but not too loudly.

In the mouth: Coffee and cream at the top. And then it falls flat. Nothing going on. Far too light-bodied, not enough flavors to keep me interested. Woefully thin. Slight sweetness, continual coffee. But overall, ...eh. I definitely don't recommend it.

I'm not enjoying this one. Not usually the case with Boulevard beers. Aw, well.

Although, once again, I forgot to 'hard pour" this can. I doubt it would have improved the experience that much.

Crafted to showcase custom-roasted beans from Kansas City's Second Best Coffee, this smooth, creamy nitro milk stout blooms with notes of honey, molasses, citrus and cocoa powder. A mild nuttiness is accentuated by caramel and chocolate malts, with a touch of flaked oats.
