Once you go black…
Ahem, that’s Abyss, once you go Abyss you never go back.
But the Abyss is black, I mean dark black, the kind of drink you can’t see through at all.
A blog-writing, beer swilling friend of mine, of the female persuasion, described Deschutes Brewing Co.’s Abyss as eating a huge stack of pancakes.
And it is, in that filling, mouth-numbing, I-need-to-take-a-nap-afterward, sort of way.
This year’s version of that dark devil of an imperial stout aged in French oak barrels is due out Jan. 14. But, I’m not sure if we get this stuff in Missoula, so, do whatever you have to do to get a bottle or three of this beer. (Just remember to drink only one at a time and don’t be driving anywhere after you do)
If you do see it here in Missoula, send me a note. Hey, remember all the hints about where to get good beers that I’ve given you. Share the love.
Prost,
GG
Let me know if this shows up in Missoula. I heard they were not allowed to bring it into the state because of the 11% alcohol tag. I know you guys over in Missoula get a lot more fun beer. Everytime I make it up there, I hit Wordens. I noticed last time, they even had Jolly Pumpkin, and Mikkeller. It makes me mad, that here in Bozeman they just won’t bring in that stuff that the Shelton brothers import to the US.
