Avery Out of Bounds Stout

Deep brown pour with tan head. Roasted malts and bitter dark chocolate in the nose. Flavor is roasted malts, chocolate, coffe, and slight vanilla. Rather bitter finish for a dry stout.

Bottle from Lighthouse beer and wine. aroma is toffee roast and chocolate. Flavor is about the same as the aroma with a bitter thick body and a big tan head.

Bottled. thanks Tiki Anus for the rate. Pours a dark black coffee color with a tan head. Smells of wood roast and malts. Tastes toffee like with chocolate. Good beer!

bottle, very nice chocolate coffe nose, color is coffee brown with a strong cocoa coffee flavor, very well balanced with a good dry roast finish

Pour is dark brown black with a decent creamy watery ivory head and some little spotty lacing. Smell is roasted and sweet chalky malt. Flavor is sweet and malty too with no real roasted notes in there but perhaps some nuttiness in the finish. Mouthgeel is a bit high on carbonation and is just a touch too fizzy on the tongue for me.

Bottle courtesy of Sparky27 as an extra in trade. Thanks!
Pours mostly black with some light getting through. Light, creamy tan head. Smell is creamy, roasty, and milky. Taste is roasty, lightly bitter up front with some lightly burnt toast notes, and finishes with some creaminess and a dry bitterness. Pretty nice flavor, good body and is not too thin or thick to keep it from having poor drinkability. Overall a very solid and enjoyable stout.

Very dark brown pour with a chestnut rim. Aroma is super dark roast and hints of hardwood and cedar. Flavor has a woody dryness to it. Not bad. This beer reminds me of wood burning kits one would play with as a kid.

While this beer is by no means a failure--it certainly struggles to deliver in flavor what it presents in appearance. Which is to say that I’m certainly not buying their description of "extreme" for this one, as it’s much closer to average.
