Avery Out of Bounds Stout

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

<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.

Sampled in a little 12 oz. Has a great kick to it. So worth a try. Pours motor oil black!

Pours a black brown color with red highlights and a large rocky beige head. Decent lacing on the side of the glass. Nose is dark chocolate, roasted coffee, sour malt, and a hint of that ultra bitter almost wet vegetables scent. Taste is dry roasted coffee, expresso beans, more chocolate, and a burnt component lingers on the palate for a fairly long finish. Mouthfeel is medium. Very serviceable.

This is a strong stout for the abv. Coffee, roasted malt, milk chocolate, and caramel. A good stout, definitely worth it.

Aroma slightly like coffee but more roastiness topped with a dense tan head. Very dark with faint red highlights. Very roasty and burnt, too much for my taste as it drowns out any other characteristics of the flavor.
