Avery Out of Bounds Stout

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

An unforgetable creamy smooth stout. Coffechocs and roasty notes of some fruits. Medium body and dry finish. Must try it again!

On tap at the Happy Gnome. Black in color with a lasting layer of brown film. Aromas mainly of black olives, brown sugar and a mild-roast, thin coffee. Flavors are initially of stout’s lesser characteristics – sarsaparilla or cola with prunes. The very dry, almost plastickey body eventually discovers a more cinnamon-chocolate identity. So, make sure to let it warm quite a bit.

Roasted malt aroma, dark black color. Burnt, bitter flavor, overpowers the maltyness. Very rich but a little bitter for my taste.

12 oz bottle. Noticed last reviewer said there was a frothy head. I didn’t get that at all... indeed very little head to speak of. The aroma was deep chocolate, which followed with the robust taste. The first taste was full of the alcohol, but second swallow mellowed nicely, definitely chocolate and roasted coffee. Very nice stout indeed.

12-oz. bottle. Pours black with a huge frothy dark brown head, mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (molasses, burnt, nutty), light hops (celery), average yeast (leather) with notes of tar and vanilla. Full bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation and a chalky finish. Long duration, light sweetness and acidity, moderate bitterness; heavy roasted malt flavor with tar, molasses and dark chocolate.

12oz bottle, courtesy of Crosling. Thanks, Nick! Pours a dark black center with brown edges; medium tan head with patchy lacing. Light, chewy aroma: marshmallow, vanilla, and hints of milk chocolate. Medium mouthfeel: toasty vanilla, roasted malts, and creamy milk chocolate; citrus hops peeking through; not a lot of complexity, but very drinkable and well-roasted. Dry, milk chocolate finish.

12oz - Brown liquid with thin, limp tan head, no nose, noearly no carbonation. Smoke and tobacco notes. A second bottle was the same. I’ll stick with the Storm King or Frostbite.

Bottle from crosling. Black as can be with strong black bitter coffee aroma. Acually looks like black coffee. Tan head with good lacing. The taste was of strong bitter coffee with slight fizzy carbonation. Good body for a stout but just too bitter for me.
