Avery Out Of Bounds Stout

Here's another one I'm revisiting. So many old reviews to see again anew. This one is from April of 2007, a bottle received through trade, a few years before you could get this brewery here. It's the Out of Bounds Stout form Avery Brewing, of Boulder, Colorado. 6.3% ABV.

Dark brown body body, ruby tinges around the edges, under a puffy cocoa head, plenty of lacing, rocky, looking good for a stout.

Aroma is sweet and roasty, lots of espresso notes, nuts, chocolate...nougat, caramel...it's a candy bar, nearly, more I sniff it...toffee! Me like!

Taste: just right. Full bodied, big on board the palate, bittersweet, tart yet again chocolatey, very cocoa-licious! Hmmm, mmm!

Quite satisfying, full flavored, with huge hops, tempered by roasty chocolate malts...mmm, mmm...I quite like it.

I still quite like it.
