Obsidian Stout

🌍 United States · American Stout · One of 8 American Stouts in hopIQ

Deschutes' American Stout — dense, roasty, and named for the volcanic glass that studs the Central Oregon landscape. Espresso and dark chocolate lead, then a wave of ripe dark-fruit malt sweetness that never overstays. Chewy body, moderate bitterness, and enough Pacific Northwest hop presence to keep it interesting through the final sip.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
