A Note on This Beer

This beer is a pre-order! We expect to receive it in mid October.

Up from the depths of Deschutes’ carefully-controlled cellar comes The Abyss (2015)!

Brewed with blackstrap molasses, brewer’s licorice, vanilla bean, and cherry bark, each sip offers a new, alluring flavor to get lost in. And since it’s aged in bourbon barrels, Oregon oak barrels, and Pinot Noir casks, each pitch-black pour carries immense depth and complexity.

A decade in the cellar only adds to the intricacy, mellowing the 12.2% ABV into liquid velvet and richening the brew’s dark-chocolate depths and vanilla nature.

Look forward to an impossibly smooth sip boasting a deep, subdued brown sugar and licorice-like sweetness. It should cascade into a creamy dark cocoa, espresso bitterness, hiding hints of bright vanilla and cherry, before easing into a tannic oak finish.

This award-winning, classic beer will make a great addition to your own personal cellar. Or, if you decide to crack it right away, whisk you away with waves of nostalgia for the beers that first got you into craft! 

World Beer Award for Best of Country (2020), Best Stout & Porter (2012); Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal (2007)

Rated 4.26 on Untappd

If you don’t have an active crate, a new one will open automatically when your pre-ordered beer lands. Check the ‘Future’ tab on the ‘My Crate’ page of the app for updates.

11/8/21- Similar experience to the 2014. Flavors muted by age. Disappointing.

Not much of a taste, other than boozy barrel. Might have aged too long, it was in the bottle for 7 years. Mellow finish.

Licorice and cherry bark notes arrive early. Chocolate notes linger along with a slight bitterness.
