Avery Out of Bounds Stout

Bottle at Hi 5 Raleigh. Very dark brown colored stout with a medium sized light tan head that went down to a near-flat look. Roasty flavors, some caramel and bitter, chocolately notes. Not a blows-me-away kind of stout, but I did enjoy it and it left me wanting more brew.

Poured dark with a massive head that took 5 min to let down - very carbonated for a dry stout. not the strong taste that I expected but not bad. nice roasty taste

Found this one bottled at the Binny’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Unexpectedly good, especially for a warm late summer evening. Thick and milky dark brown pour with a thick light brown head, milk chocolate in the nose, slightly earthy, with oatmeal, soy sauce, barbeque sauce, barley, rye bread ... the list goes on. An amazing accomplishment.

pours black with frothy tan head. lots of lacing. heavy nose of caramel, dough, coffee, chocolate, rum soaked dark fruit. flavor is nice and bitter. pretty layered. roasted malt is subdued to the chocolate and coffee. more dark fruit. a little leather. aftertaste is dry and bitter. pretty awesome. thick, oily viscous mouthfeel.

Aroma of bitter malts and nuts. Pours black with a surprisingly light colored head. Mouthfeel is thinner than expected but the flavor is wonderful. Lots of dry, bitter malts with notes of ash, strong grainy coffee, and dark chocolate. Pretty well-hopped for a stout, nice lacing too. Aggressively flavorful, with a slight flavor of black pepper as well.

Bottle that has been resting in my cellar for a couple of years. Dark brown/deep deep mahogany pour with an over abundance of rocky tan head. This head won’t quit, "finish up already putty lips" - Andrew "Dice" Clay. Anyway, nice roasty malt aroma, some chocolate notes. Nice roasty flavor, good amount of bitterness, chocolate malts, and a hint of black coffee. Smooth, very easy drinking. A pleasure. I wish it had a bit more depth.

On tap at Ginger Man NY. Black with soft tan head. Cocoa and yeasty aroma. Extremely complex flavor of chocolate, licorice, cocoa, and lotsa dark figgy fruit with fruity finish. Medium body and medium-low carbo. Nice mouthfeel. Somehow a little to fig-fruity for me. But still very good.

Bottle.Pours a dark brown, almost coal color, with a three-quarters inch tan head that dissipates after a few minutes. Roasted malt aroma with tones of chocolate and coffee. Flavor is a nice, deep roasted barley flavor, laced with dark chocolate and a hint of espresso. Soft mouthfeel, kind of creamy. Great stout! I’d like to pair this brew with a hearty beef stew (cooked with some of this stout) and a good bread, on a cold and blustery night, along with a good murder mystery book and a healthy fire in the fireplace.
