The Abyss Delivers the Goods!

March 19, 2014 by Kris Calef

IMG_2056Have you tried Deschutes’ The Abyss yet?  ‘Cause if you haven’t and you dig barrel aged imperial stouts, you’ve got to get your hands on a bottle.  I busted into a bottle from their 2012 batch that I had been sitting on the other day and forgot how much I loved this beer.  It’s complex as hell, offering notes of anise, big molasses flavors paired with a complex roasted malt profile all kissed with just enough bourbon and wood to make it all come together in an extremely well-integrated, flavorful beer.

What’s your favorite Imperial Stout? This one’s on my top 10.

Prost!
Kris
