    Barely 1/4 of the beer is aged in barrels, and yet it turns out beautifully, with just the right amount of barrel influence. I love me a good barrel-bomb as much as the next guy, but I really love the subtleties of The Abyss!

    Can you find this outside of the brewery itself?

    It should hit anywhere in the Deschutes distro footprint.

    Really? Did 2011 go through a magical voodoo wormhole. Did a 4 year vertical 2010-2013 back in April or May and just like every other time 2011 was the least favorite, so much licorice. After the initial 2oz pours and verticals the 2010 was voted best and bottle was drained first with 2013 and 2012 close for 2nd and 3rd with 2011 still with almost half a bottle left at the end of the night. I even got a 2011 last year in a BIF and was super sad but not fully because it allowed me to do a 4 year vertical :stuck_out_tongue:

    I'm loving last year's now though :slight_smile: can't wait to get this year's and do a 5 year vertical even though 2011 will still probably be crap.

    I really liked it. Full disclosure, I drank a 2012 Parabola right beforehand so palet could have been off. 2010 is consistently the best though. Did 3 verticals last year and 2010 won every time

    You know, until the infection set in, it was my favourite fresh Abyss ever.

    2010 destroys the other vintages, IMO.

    This. Had 2010 at Flying Rock in Denver last year and it was the best of the three or four releases that I've had.
