Beer Review: Boulevard Smokestack Series - Dark Truth

Not sure if this is some kind of anniversary edition or what, but the "Smokestack Series" appears to be some special edition, hopped up, high octane beers. Dark Truth is an Imperial Stout, 9.7% ABV. The taste is chocolatey brown, small, 1/2 finger head, but the head that it does have sticks to the sides of the glass as one drinks it down. tastes of chocolate, molasses, roasted malts and coffee. Medium carbonation, not too much hop bitterness, lots of flavor. Full bodied, yet goes down smooth. I had one yesterday in a Sam Adams perfect pint glass, drinking one out of a wine goblet today. The Sammie brings out the flavor better in my not-so-humble opinion.
