Deschutes abyss 2013?

Hey guys,

I just stopped by one of my local beer stores last night and the beer guy there (whom I have befriended) brought me out a bottle of this stuff. He said everyone chases this and it is some good stuff. Can anyone weigh in on it?

Hey Kris,

Never tried it but from what I have read and heard it is a limited bottle run and it is OUTSTANDING. To give you a good gauge on it on almost every single beer review site there are thousands of votes and 5 stars. So it is very good and limited.

OK fresh but quite unbalanced , for , Abyss is one widely famed to age . Gets very fudgy , less barrel and zero heat … a real joy

I liked the 2012 version.

It's an excellent black as night imperial stout with a strong hop backbone to balance the huge amount of malts in the beer. I would liken it to the darkest espresso roast you've ever had. My friend lives in Bend and picks up a few bottles for me each year.

Sounds like I was fortunate to stumble upon it? I hate having to age stuff though (lol)...
