Deschutes Obsidian Stout

Deep brown with a thick tan head which retains fairly long. Has a great aroma of coffee, roasted malt, and raisin. Flavor is a bit sweet with a lot of coffee and a bit of an acidic flavor. This is pretty good for the price, but I think I actually like their Black Butte Porter more.

Dark rich body, thick head. Aroma has heavy roasted malts, some sweetness, molasses. Creamy mouthfeel with some finishing bitterness. Flavor is well balanced, roasted malts, coffee and sweetness. Nice.

Pour dark black, beautiful head with appropriate lacing. Poured into a duvel tulip. Excellent palate, but perhaps could be a bit softer Rich nose, excellent dry roasted lingering bitterness. Some vanilla. Excellent balance, not too burnt, not too sweet. I love this kind of stout.

Pours black with a thick, sticky head - rich aroma of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, vanilla bean, black malt - creamy body - bitter dark malts are balanced by chocolate sweetness - some notes of char, burnt malts, but it never becomes ashy, like so many other highly bitter and roasty stouts - a nice mix of sweetness and dry character in the finish - this is a great stout.

12 oz. Bottle. pours very dark...roasty, chocolaty and malty flavors. There’s also a hint of fruity flavors. Short burst that tingle’s to the palate. Nice...very nice.

Poured from 12 oz, darkest of brown, with a medium sized tan head. Nose of chocolate and malt, nice,Taste was a bit thin, but dry on the semi-sweet side. with a good mouthfeel overall.

Dark, black, chocolate, candied fruit. Not as thick or chewy as I would have hoped, but an incredible flavor profile. Woody and rich. Really a tasty stout.

dark dark brown with a nice big pillowy brown head. aromas of coffe, chocolate, liquorice, bread, malt. very inviting so far. roasty flavors just on the verge of being too roasty and 1 dimensional, but this is almost perfect. creamy mouthfeel, good bitterness.
