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?

Bottle at Craft CG share. It pours opaque jet black with a tiny tan head. The aroma is earthy roasted malts, rich charred character, tar, wood, coffee grounds, leather, medicinal note and dark chocolate cake. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy, charred wood, warming alcohol, coffee grounds, coffee cake, bit of tannin and leather. Medium - Full body, fine carbonation and chewy mouth - feel. Pretty decent stuff, especially the aroma. Perhaps good have a bit more depth of flavour, but not bad overall.
