Avery Out of Bounds Stout

Very dark in colour with a tan head. Roasted aroma with hints of chocolate and coffee. Dry roasted malty flavor with hints of coffee. Has a dry and a little hoppy aftertaste.

Re-rated on 1/21/2008. Ruby/black with a medium tan head. Coffee, pine, and citrus in the aroma. Medium body and carbonation, some astringency, nicely dry. Bitterness comes on quickly, leaving little time to appreciate the treacle sweetness that lurks behind it. Long, mildly bitter finish. An easy drinking dry stout.

Pours very dark. Has bitter tones to it with a hint of coffee and chocolate. A little too thin to linger long, it does not have much of an aftertaste. Mildly disappointing for a stout.

Large light brown head. Very dense and creamy. Settles very nicely. Bitter roasted aroma with some juniper and coffee. Color is essentially black. Dry, sharply bitter up front. Loads of roasted oats in the middle, carbon, dark chocolate, coffee. Finish is a little chalky with a lingering dry bitterness. This is certainly dry. Thin mouthfeel and a decent stout but not worth a lot of effort.

Bottled. Black appearance. Dark brown head. Quite roasted coffee notes are present in the flavour. However most unfortunate the beer is too thin to keep my concentration focused on it.

Black beer with a big light brown head. Roasted malty aroma, coffee bitterness and a faint chocolate sweetness. Roasted malty flavor with a burnt coffee bitterness. Finish has a nice balanced hoppy bitterness.

A good stout, but this style leaves much to be desired. Has a roasty and coffee like flavor, but normal stouts are also pretty light tasting to me now.

Pours a very dark brown body with a tan, merangue-like head. The nose is full of black coffee. At first, the flavor is cool, black coffee with a slight burnt taste ending with a citrus/grapefruit hop kick. Not at all the finish I would expect from a "dry stout" but very kind nonetheless.
