Deschutes Obsidian Stout
Deschutes Obsidian Stout
Deschutes Brewery
Bend, OR
I know that it's hard to believe that somebody who semi-regularly maintains a beer-tasting website is not much of a drinker, but I'm not. In fact I'm in a stretch when I am forcing myself to drink the kind trade-gift from the featured brewer. I seem to have lost my taste for the stuff. Anyhow, the Obsidian Stout from Deschutes makes me remember what it is about beer that I like best: the darker the better. I'm a stouter and this one meets the minimum requirements and then some. I won't rank it with my top favorites: Hitachino Sweet Stout, Jolly Pumpkin Madrugada Obscura and Tres Blueberry Stout, but I'd rank it in that upper tier of straight stouts. A perfect blend of hops, dark malts and a pinch of sweetness which isn't unlike what we're all looking for on a daily basis from life.

prost! and a happy new year of drinking the fine brews to YOU!
I found Obsidian to be a most excellent stout coming from a bottle or from a tap. Deschutes makes some easily drinkable stuff!
Just found your site. You've done exactly what I'm trying to do - build a brew review type of site. I'm reviewing primarily Colorado craft beers but when I saw how much you've done I thought - BRILLIANT! I like how you show off how well a beer pours into a glass. I didn't think about videos but I typically take a picture of my beer just after I pour it into my glass. Keep up the Good Work! Chipper (Dave) from Fermentedly Challenged. (blogspot)
