So, SWMBO was out running errands today and decided to stop for lunch while out. She's pregnant so I'm not about to object to that. Especially after what she brought home.
Deschutes Brewery apparently has a new beer out. Hop in the Dark. I've got a growler in the fridge so I can properly evaluate it. Kind of partway between their Inversion IPA and Obsidian Stout. Dark like in between a Porter and a Stout, bitter like between an Pale Ale and an IPA (biased towards IPA bitterness though). Not really quite as heavy as either a Porter/Stout, or IPA though.
Overall, I'd say that it is quite good, but maybe not what I would choose as a "go to" beer. Honestly, I think I'd rather drink one each Inversion IPA and Obsidian Stout than 2 Hop in the Darks. But given a choice of only 1 beer, it would be hard to decide.
