Nov 30, 2007 Bottles from Dirty Martini and BlackForestCO. Black body with a medium-sized, tan head that fades to a cover. The aroma is lightly sweet with a good dose of molasses and cola, some chocolate and roast in there as well. The flavor is just lightly sweet with dark chocolate, roasted malt, light coffee and a touch of dark fruits. Medium body is moderately carbonated and is a bit thin, especially in the finish. Finish is dry with a lingering presence of baker’s chocolate. Nice.

Nov 5, 2007 Black as night with a moderate tan head. Very roasty flavor that leaves a bitter aftertaste. Very drinkable.

Oct 25, 2007 This was very approachable, yet not boring stout. I really enjoyed its moderate roastiness, and thought it very drinkable.
It pours a slightly viscous black, with a fluffy tan (nude pantyhose colored) head formation of tiny bubbles. Aroma was light roastiness. Flavor was more roastiness with some good "burned pizza crust" character and some chocolate and coffee flavor notes. Slightly creamy, but definitely not an extremely thick stout. Highly drinkable.
I had a roommate from OR who said that Deschutes was available in most gas stations & c-stores there...how wonderful that would be! Far from the biggest and baddest in this style, but very nice. Highly recommended.
I bought this at Liquor Mart in Boulder, CO during a visit to attend the GABF.
