    I was looking for some Abyss '07 and '08 but don't see it being traded that often so I can't really put a finger on what it takes to land. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    People were asking for Blacknote, Czar Jack, 2009 Darkness, King Henry, etc....

    I didn't think it was worth that in trade value but i could be mistaken. What have you traded to land a vintage abyss?

    I was wondering the same thing...

    I offered an 06 a week or two back and it got buried in the trading forum so quickly only a few people viewed it.
    Still have it by the way.

    I do not think a King Henry or 09 Darkness would be a bad trade for either person for an 07 or 08.

    I don't think Blacknote or Czar Jack is fair, but KH and '09 Darkness might be.

    Because those are better beers or what?

    IMO, 06 is worth a good bit more than any other vintage, although I'd have a hard time saying what's "fair" for it.

    I don't know that I'd trade a 07 or 08 Abyss for any current release other than a few very hard to find ones. King Henry alone certainly wouldn't do it for me, nor Upland Lambics, which seem pretty easy to trade for with other current releases. Perhaps I could be off and other people value them lower, but that's my gut feeling on them (and I'd be quite happy to just drink them myself).

    Czar Jack is absolutely NOT a better beer, but that doesn't matter much. Haven't had BN.

    Ok just curious. It was hard to tell by your post. I prefer Czar Jack out of all three.

    Sent out 07/08 for shelf stuff a month ago. I think $40 worth.
