Deschutes Obsidian Stout

On draft at the brew pub. Not too impressed with this. Too watery for me, should have been a little creamier for the 6.4% alcohol content. Tasted weak and without a whole lot of flavor. Lightly sweet roasted malt taste. Watery, lightly dry finish. Too much like guinness.

(bottle from B&B Liquor in Colorado Springs). Black color. Medium brown head which is mostly diminishing. Roasted coffee aroma. Roasted coffee flavor with some bitterness. Avg duration. Light bitter finish. Slick texture. Moderate carbonation. Spare lacing.

Black with a brown head that displays great retention. Smooth, creamy, chocolately roasted malt and sweet fruitcake in the aroma. The flavor is of smooth roasted malt, light mineral water, and lightly sweet dark cake with a pleasant bitterness wrapping things up. Just a hint of sweetness, acidity, and burnt toast in the finish. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Good stuff, but has a few obtuse qualities.

12oz bottle from Lukas Liquors. Pours very dark brown with average tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate and some caramel. Flavor is dry and roasty with chocolate, caramel and a touch of coffee. Finishes dry but has good carbonation. This is a really solid stout.

12oz. Body: Aroma of roasted malts and chocolate. Poured very dark brown/black in color with a small, brown head that lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor is slightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tasted of roasted malts and chocolate. Medium body. Slightly sticky texture. Average carbonation. Light;y sweet, lightly bitter, chocolate and roasted malt finish has a hint of dryness.

Ahhh...back in Washington state! How wonderful the cool weather feels. Anyways, picked up a 6’er of this at QFC. Poured a slightly viscous. Nice thin head sitting on top of a dark black body. Decent chocolate head. Looks pretty good if you ask me. Huge sweet roast aroma that is not hard to smell at all. Very pungent beer. Chocolate comes through the aroma as well. Nice aroma. Huge roast flavor with some sweet chocolate notes. Rather thin, if you ask me, but no where near watery. Wonderful roast flavor with chocolate that just amazes me. Overall, damn good stout, and it is good to be in Washington again.

Out of a 6 pack, chilled mug,pours nice and black, with a good medium head. Aroma of rich coffee,smoke and dark roasted malts is strong. A perfect all around stout in a 6 pack that is still above %6. Another winner in the always good Deschutes lineup.

Jet black with a small, light brown head. Roasted malt aroma with licorice and a touch of pine hops. Strong roasted flavour with licorice, a burnt note, some sweetness and a nice hoppy finish.
