Avery Out of Bounds Stout

Brewed by Avery Brewing Company
Style: Dry Stout
Boulder, Colorado USA

Bottle. Pours an opaque black with a fast fading tan head. The nose is chocolate and roasted barley. -Taste is dark chocolate, roasted barely, black coffee and some bitter hops in the finish. Medium, semi-creamy mouth feel. Good stout.

Bottle. Pours black with a cappuccino cream color head. Aroma is of velvety milk chocolate, vanilla, and wood chips. Wow, not unlike some imperial stouts I’ve had! Flavor shows some coffee with heavy cream up front; not much of the sweetness of the aroma. Palate remains subdued throughout. Some dark chocolate comes in through the mid-palate, though so does some roasty, bitter flavors that act to keep the beer far left of sweet. Finish continues roasted flavors, adding dryness to the final mouthfeel. Overall, I LOVED the aroma, found the flavor nearly as good, and felt let down a touch by the palate.

12oz bottle. Dark brown pour with a thin off-white head. Roasty aroma with some coffee and hop. Malty flavor with some chocolate and a very dry coffee finish. Not bad.

Bottle. Pours and almost black brown hue with a pale brown head. Nose is roasted barley with some oat. I do not disagree with the cigarette aromas. Very nice roasted malt with a pretty decent coffee flavor for a dry stout. Also a nice cigar tobacco flavor too. Mouth is medium bodied, a slight lean to the watery side. Very easy drink with a slight burnt after taste.

<i>12 oz. Bottle.</i> Pleasant dark malty smell under the cap. Pours lots of fresh smelling dark roast smell into the glass, but with a clean finish like a good schwartzbier. Black, yes, with a light tan head. Taste is all sorts of roast and toast, with the bitterness playing only to the sides of the tongue. Definite swig of hops in this one to accentuate the dryness. Very hearty impression for a beer of normal strength.

Near black pour with a low almond head. Odd vegetal aroma, like hemp or American cigarettes, not very appetizing actually. But the flavour is very nice-- generous bitter roast with coffee and bitter chocolate elements. Bitter dry finish, medium bodied.

Draught, black color with tan head. Roasted malt aroma with slight caramel notes. Heavy on hops with a slight roasted malt flavor.

12 oz. bottle at Lunar Brewing. Poured a dark, black/brown, with a diminishing, tan head and thick, clingy lacing. Aroma is a modest blend of roastiness, malt,and light touches of coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is a little earthy, with a medium hop bitterness, woodiness, and light, burnt coffee notes. A touch of sweetness comes through at the end in the flavor, which is as modest in intensity as the aroma. Medium body and mid-dry finish. Good dry stout.
