    Has there been any word on the Abyss variants? I got a nebulous "sometime this week" from my bottleshop.

    So... Steel Toe Size 11 thoughts, anyone?

    Not sure what they did with it this year, but it was bad. The last 8 oz were my first drain pour of the year. :slight_frown: I really looked forward to this beer every year. This year, I have a 2nd bottle that I don't want to drink and $20 out of my pocket that I want back.

    I didn't think it was terrible, but I drained the last half glass as well, because a whole bottle is too much. I hadn't had 11 before, but it met my expectations: resinous, slight fruit, and boozy.

    Can you hold a bottle for me? I could also go for another 6er of xocovesa if you have any left :slight_smile:

    Did not buy any this year and did not buy any last year, its a release i skip from them , not worth the price IMO, had a tap pour last year, and if i see it this year i will buy a pour.

    Might have to head there! I brought back a 6 pack of it from PHX because I couldn't find anymore around here. They just got a huge shipment in and it looks like MN did as well. One of my favorite new seasonals (especially for the price).

    I didn't enjoy my single bottle this year. Really enjoyed it last year, this years had a very noticeable alcohol after taste and wasn't as balanced.

    Could be wrong, but I'm assuming they were referring to the 2 bottles bought - that would be about $20

    Any utopias around?

    Just found out that my half of the state didn't get any this year, so I'm hoping to have a friend pick up a bottle for me in mnsp.

    Totally my bad, I bought the last four pack of this at TW Bloomington, and I swear I didn't see it on here I just happened to be in the store and saw it all lonely sitting on the shelf and couldn't resist.
