Commercial Description:
This big, roasty stout takes flavor to the extreme. We aren't afraid to use plenty of rich roasted barley and a mountain of hops to give this full-bodied stout that little extra something you've been looking for in a beer.

Bottle at Jerry’s. Black with big, foamy head / Nose of roast coffee and chocolate/ Medium to full body with forward winey bite, gentle spritz, and dry, smooth, hop finish / Big flavors of roast coffee, coffee, and licorice / Superb - an ipa-like stout.

Dark as night, with a very healthy head. Huge chocolatey fragrance and roasted coffee flavors. Rich, smooth, & creamy, with an interesting ’zip’ in the finish. Full mouthfeel, almost like a milkshake. Nice bitterness. Excellent stuff! Avery is quickly becoming one of my new favorite breweries.

Darker than most, this one has the nose of a sweet stout: Milky, fresh, and seems to be more alcoholic in the nose like an Imperial. Dark, wonderful roasted flavor with the corners of my mouth left milky and chalky. No alcohol to be found, instead a nice hoppy end. Very hoppy in fact. Damn, this is nice stout that confuse the lines of Dry/Sweet/Milk Stouts.

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.

Black with a medium lasting off-white head. Malt rich toasted aroma with some wood and smoke. Flavour is initially a battle between hops and roast barley sourness, with some great coffee notes and wood to follow. Good mouthfeel and long lasting aftertaste. Nice to see an American microbrew where "big" isn’t just in the alcohol percentage :)

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured thick black and oily with a a huge frothing dark brown head. Gorgeous! The aroma was sweet chocolate, coffee, roasty malts and toasty malts with a light floral hop undertone. The flavor was bitter-sweet, roasty and toasty with a moderate coffee element and a light undertone of silky chocolate. The finish was long, roasty sweet coffee. Marvelous!

This begins my foray back into stouts from IPAs. Drank one; then I had a "session" of the remaining 5. [Note: This is NOT a SESSION brew, I do not care what anyone says or thinks.] Rich chocolate/nut aroma. Spotty sheen of tan head. Even a vigorus pour does not yield a lasting head. Very opaque black, transmitted color is a deep amber with ruby tints. Slick and slightly chalky/resinous palate. Superglue lacing. Stout up front, straight porter in middle and aftertaste. Each phase is plesant. Definitely NOT one-dimentional. Even my emitted noxious gas was plesant tasting. Soft conditioning, made me feel fuller than mouthfeel. Drinkable fast or slow, but if you start slamming you’ll soon go to sipping. Almost perfect, except for palate being a little chalky. If you like Guinness, step up to this stout tough guy!
