Review - Deschutes Brewery's Obsidian Stout
"Smooth and black, like the volcanic rock, Obsidian Stout is a solid, satisfying beer with underlying espresso and chocolaty flavors." -- Deschutes Brewery
This stout pours to a black body with a dark reddish-brown, fizzy head. Poor lacing and a fully diminishing head contribute to a lack of visual appeal. Aroma is of sweet cookie malts. Initial taste is lightly sweet with a moderately bitter finish. Watery and thin on the palate, it has a burnt taste with light carbonation. Dry on the mouthfeel.
