Deschutes Obsidian Stout 12oz

Name: Obsidian Stout
Brewery: Deschutes Brewery
Style: American Stout
Origin: Bend, Oregon, USA
ABV: 6.4%
IBU: 55

Flavor Profile and Aroma:
Rich and roasty with deep notes of espresso, dark chocolate, and black barley. You’ll pick up a subtle caramel-toffee sweetness up front, balanced by just enough hop bitterness to keep it from getting overly sweet.
Appearance:
Opaque black pour, topped with a tan to mocha-colored head that leaves some sticky lacing down the glass.
Mouthfeel:
Medium body, smooth and somewhat silky—not overly heavy, making it surprisingly drinkable for a stout. The carbonation is modest, letting the roasted malt character shine.
Story and Accolades:
Named after the volcanic glass found in Central Oregon, this stout is crafted to mirror the smooth, dark, crystalline nature of obsidian. Year-round availability underlines its status as a stalwart in Deschutes’ lineup. It’s earned high praise among stout drinkers for delivering bold flavor at a moderate strength.
Food Pairings:
Pairs beautifully with smoked meats (think brisket or BBQ ribs), rich chocolate desserts (flourless cake or truffles), strong cheeses like aged Gouda or blue cheese, and even roasted mushrooms over savory grains.
