Avery Brewing Out of Bounds Stout

A few months back I was at Yia-Yia's for Avery night and tried several of their fines beers. It seems like it's one of those breweries where you'll never find a bad beer. Out of Bounds Stout is just a stout, nothing fancy, no added flavoring, no unnecessary amounts of hops in order to call it a stout IPA or some such nonsense.  A good stout doesn't need a hyphen, it just isOut of Bounds Stout pours, as you might expect, an impenetrable black with a one-finger beige head. But even though there's no added flavors, the malt and hops add all kinds of aromas and flavors: chocolate, coffee, toffee, caramel. Some sweetness (is this a milk stout maybe?) and a creamy thickness. Everything that you could possibly ask for in a stout. Bring me more!
