The Abyss

http://www.deschutesbrewery.com/

This is one of my top three favorite stouts.

The bottle is capped with wax, first hint this isn't your everyday stout. Once the bottle is finally open, it pours thick with a dark head - hint #2 that this is a big stout. The beer smells of sweet carmely goodness with a brush of hops in the nose. It smells how I would like my hot chocolate to taste if that makes any sense... first sip is thick and velvety, I think I've found the heroin of beer, I'm addicted for the moment. Second sip, almost a Yeager like licorice taste - read the bottle... dee dee dee it has licorice in it... mmmm yeah, definatly an excellent stout!

Have you gotten your bottle yet?
