2015 marks the 10th bottling of Deschutes The Abyss. The beer is releasing a little later this year, in order to celebrate accordingly – with 3 different editions.
The regular Deschutes The Abyss will release on December 17th, 2015. The imperial stout is brewed with brewers’ licorice, cherry bark, vanilla, and black strap molasses and is then “dry hopped” with vanilla beans and cherry bark. It is finished in bourbon, Oregon oak and pinot noir barrels
Two more editions will join the annual release, each 100% barrel aged. We are still waiting on release date for those editions.
Deep, dark Imperial Stout, The Abyss has almost immeasurable depth and complexity. Hints of molasses, licorice and other alluring flavors make it something not just to quaff, but contemplate.
Deschutes The Abyss is a 22 ounce bottle offering.
