Avery Out of Mind Coffee Stout

Avery Out of Mind Coffee Stout. 6.5 % ABV. Stout with Coffee Beans. Avery Brewing, Boulder, CO. "Intense. Wired. Beerista." Seems like they're getting into the whole "3 words" thing.

Solid blackness. Slim brown ring of foam.

In the nose: Warm, earthy coffee tones on top, dark malt notes just below. Cocoa flavors blend with espresso.

In the mouth: Sweet from the stout, with notes of cherry and vanilla, keeping up with the coffee flavors. Slightly bittersweet, ending dry. Medium bodied, long, dry coffee-is finish. Just enough hops to keep on top the roasted malt. Lovely stuff.

We've taken this big, intense stout to the extreme by boosting it with whole bean dark-roasted coffee. We aren't afraid to use plenty of rich roasted barley, balanced by the bitterness of coffee to give this full-bodied stout a little extra something you've been looking for in a beer.
