Commercial Description:
Smooth and black, like the volcanic rock, Obsidian Stout is a solid, satisfying beer with a rich roasted-malt flavor. Obsidian Stout gets is inspiration from one of the world's largest obsidian flows at Newberry Volcano--just a few miles south of the brewery. "The Big Obsidian Flow," as they call it, covers more than 700 acres with shiny black obsidian.

Bottle. Roasted malts with chocolate aroma. Fairly clean and dry finish - fairly bitter and very drinkable. Not bad

Bottle... Poured a black tone with a fluffy, brown head. Roasty, malt, and chocolates on the nose. Really enjoyable and smooth palate, flavors of chocalate, malt, hops, caramel, vanilla bean and a bit leafy.. very smooth finish.

Black with a thick dark tan soapy head. Sweet aroma with some light roast notes, a bit of hops, too. Lighter palate. Light chocolate roast flavors over a slight hop middle and bitter finish. Wish I could get enough to give it a proper session.

Nice dark color with toasty mild chocolate flavors. a little carbonated on the palate. a lighter taste with not too much depth. Could be a bit smoother.

Deep brown/Black in color with ruby highlights and a light tan colored head. Aroma/flavor is of roasted malts, slight chocolate with a touch of sweetness.

350 mL bottle. Pours black with a fizzy tan head. Aroma of chocolate and fruit. Sweet dark malts come through in the taste, smooth palate, with a slightly bitter finish. Decent.
