Beer Reviews:
Tobin’s Review 4 out of 5
Deschutes Obsidian Stout has a pitch black hue with a nice toffee head. The beer pops with chocolate malt aromas. It is clean, smooth and has a pronounced chocolate flavor. It’s very smooth with a little bitterness at the end. Overall this is a quality stout….. drop everything and try this one ASAP!
