Deschutes The Abyss 2009 22oz:


We are now taking pre-orders for this year’s Abyss. It is due in Nov. but I have not been given a definite date. As with all pre-orders, the entire order will be held until the Abyss arrives. We will process invoices in the order they were received until the supply runs out. Any pre-sell Abyss orders that can not be filled will be edited and the remainder of the order shipped.

Thanks, Matt

Are you prepared to jump head long into The Abyss??? This beer has sooooo much going on it takes several sips to get a handle on it all. First and foremost it is an imperial stout of the highest caliber. Not sweet, this 11% stout has only a hint a caramel. The predominant flavors are of roasted barley, licorice, and molasses. Light bitter hop finish with a bit of a drying bite from the black malts and licorice and a spicy alcohol hit at the end. If that were not enough all of this has been aged in French oak and Bourbon casks. The oak an bourbon tones meld perfectly with the molasses and roasty flavors, none predominating the other. Superb A++.
