Avery Out of Bounds Stout

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

Pours dark brown/black, with a medium sized brownish head. Aroma is chocolate, cofee, and a slight sweet malt presence. The flavor is medium bodied with a decent amount of carbonation. Slight hints of a floral hoppiness is totally overun by the roasted malt and chocolate and toffee. A decent offering, but definately not great

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a bubbly thick dark brown head. The aroma is powerful with the strongest notes being chocolate and hops, but also with lighter notes of roasted malt, coffee, and hints of berries. The flavor is sweet and extremely dry, like ground cocoa beans combined with notes of dark bitter dessert chocolate, prunes, roasted malt, a bit of coffee, and citrusy notes from the hops. The end is quite bitter, both from hard roasted malt and the hops, and the cocoa and citrusy hoppy notes lingers for a long time. Nice.

Black colored, medium sized beige head. Roasted coffee aroma with sweet licorice and crispy hops. Medium bodied. Flavor is also strongly roasted with dominating coffee and sweetness, slight caramel in flavor. Aftertaste lasts with roastiness. Slightly one-dimensional and not very dry for my taste, still ok beer.

Bottled. Dark ruby red colour, mediumsized beige colour. Aroma is coffee, chocolate and roasted malts. Flavour is roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, some slight hops and caramel. A good and wellbalanced beer.

Aroma of lactose, mocca and something chemical. Ruby-red black with an even, beige-brown thick head. Nice dry bitterness in the taste, long finish. There’s wood, smoke and even lemon. Very bitter.

Bottle at Kumas Corner. Pours black with a beige head. Pronounced bitter roasts with some ash flavors lead the way to a bit of a chalky finish.

(Bottled, 1st rating at Pikkulintu American Weeks -07 :) Almost black color with a medium, tanned, frothy, lasting and lacy head. Strongly aromatic-hoppy, licoricey, roasty, deliciously smooth aroma. Very bitter-hoppy, roasty flavor with a long, bitter and burned finish. Not as smooth and licoricey as the aroma, with color malts slightly overdosed. Medium-bodied, dry, burned and bitter, slightly sticky palate with smooth, but quite high carbonation. A very nice stout, but less color malt would make it more balanced.

Pitch black with a giant stable thick & creamy brown head. Roasted malts - chocolate, liquarice & especielly coffee. Large dominant hop appearance as well. The body is full & texture smooth Carbonation average. Lasting bitter finish! Very very good stout!
