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.

Oct 19, 2007 Bottle via trade with Jake65. Aroma of charred sweet caramel and toffee. Dark chocolate. Some fading hints of vanilla and alcohol. Pours dark, dark brown. Almost black with a thin khaki head. Flavor was quite dry with lots of roasted and charred malt. Come coffee and dry chocolate notes as well. Medium boded. Would have liked it to be richer and creamier on the palate. Thanks Jake!

Oct 18, 2007 Pours color of old motor oil with attractive parchment tan head. This stout looks good and leaves a nice lace on the glass. Scent of bread, chocolate, toffee and pine tar, maybe some figs. Smooth mouthfeel w/ sharp bitterness. Flavor of ethiopian coffee and caramel chocolates. Big hop presence at the end but overall not overbearing and leaves you wanting more.

Oct 16, 2007 Tasted alongside Lion Stout. Aroma of airy cocoa. Brown head frothy. Tastes of roast coffee, but not overpowering. More crisp and lively than Lion. Finishes slightly bitter
