Boulevard put out a milk stout as part of their Tasting Room Series, but there are a few differences between that and Tough Kitty. For one, the IBUs are about more than double, 27 vs. 12, so there's some nice hop bitterness to go with the sweet, malty smoothness. Tough Kitty pours an impenetrable black with a two finger tan head. There's some licorice at the back of the tongue, but the main attractions are the coffee, toffee and milk chocolate dancing around each sip. Roasted nuts and heavy cream also figure in this menagerie of flavor. Rolled out added to the mash gives it a nice creamy finish. Remember: don't be afraid of the dark!
