Deep, dark, eternal. The Umbral Abyss devours all that pierce its watery veil. Eons of crushed debris give testament to this ancient nightmare.
Emerging from the darkest ancestry of Black Oktober, the Abyss rages with oak, brandy, and coffee. This giant ediface is a true Imperial Stout.

330ml bottle. Pours black with a huge tan head, settling quickly. Aroma of coffee, roast malts, dark chocolate. Taste is sweet, coffee, chocolate, brandy, woody, spices, boozy and roasty bittersweet finish, mildly warming. Full bodied, smooth, soft carbonation. Lovely imperial stout and dangerously easy to drink.
