mahogany brown shade of black with a soft tan head which leaves some stained glass-like lacing on the glass as it retreats.
smells a little ashy and tart from high roast along with notes of caramel, toasted nuts, coffee and cream.
the palate is nice and dry. huge coffee flavor... almost like it was pumped out as coffee syrup. also, roasted grain, chocolate, nuts, ash, some florals and hoppy dryness with a lightly tart finish. ashy coffee lingers in the aftertaste... keeps me coming back.
the body is medium with a creamy soft texture yet it is crisp and dry enough to make it easily sessionable. nicely done. 7/4/7/4/16/3.8 curly (604), Nashville, Tennessee, USA

Fruit and hop aromas. Black strong in alcohol and smooth on the palate with a little dryness and chocolate flavour in a crisp and bitter roast finish. arminjewell (103), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 5, 2009 Poured dark, thick with lasting head. Nose full of chocolate and malt with a hint of hops, and tasted exactly as such. A little weak as far as stouts go, but overall a good effort and a very drinkable stout! matthewjk (68), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 4, 2009 I must be a sucker for a great stout. My ratings for this style tend to lean on the high side of the average and this stout is no exception. Fantastic aroma is a great preview for the bold, but well-balanced chocolatey flavor. Really like the roasted and coffee-like flavors. potbeercollege (369), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 4, 2009 Draught from Avery Taproom. Thick black with thin tan head. A lot less coffee than OUT OF SIGHT by Avery. Aroma is chocolate and coffee with light fruitiness and heavy hops for stout. Flavor is dark chocolate with still very coffee ending. Also burnt roasted with initial sweetness that is light and alcoholic. Light citrus bite at end.
