Bobmber bottle from trade. Pours black but with brown edging. Thins but persistent layer of tan foam. Smell actually brings up some oak and other wood. Big alcohol smell. Taste brings up, at different time, some dry red wine, and then a bit of licorice. End result is a bit sharp, but like everything else here, it's done in, not moderation, perhaps, but in symphony.

Still pretty much what I think it was. Roasty coffee, molasses sweetness

The usual The Abyss greatness. Big vanilla, roasted malt, molasses, licorice mixed in with what the cherry bark brings. I love it fresh, as
