Deep, dark, eternal. The Umbral Abyss devours all that pierce its watery veil. Eons of crushed debris give testament to the nightmare.

Into the dark ancestry of Black Oktober we added brandy-soaked coffee beans and oak to create a fearsome Imperial Stout.

The Umbral Abyss is an ancient and damning place, dare you taste of its depths?

Roof. Black with tan head. Big sweet sticky deep roasted malts, molasses, charcoal, coffee. Big sweet and bitter. Over medium body and soft fizzy carbonation. Very deep roasted, almost burnt. It’s tasty but feels terribly unhealthy to drink. YOLO 😝

Bottle shared at CBC CG - cheers fellas. Pours oily black with a small, tan cream head. Meaty dark malts haunt the snout, with notes of raisins, liquorice. Medium to big sweet flavour with ample dried dark berries, light chocolate, some ashy roast. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Dry and ashy in the finish, more leathery dark berries. Good stuff.

Draft. A black beer with a lazing dark brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, and a bit of chili. The flavor is sweet with notes of coffee, lactose, roasted malt, and a bit of alcohol, leading to a dry roasted finish.
