Deschutes Brewery The Abyss Coconut
What the brewers say
“Roasted coconut flakes, licorice, cherry bark, vanilla beans on top of an imperial stout aged in whiskey barrels.”
What our panel thought
“Bitter cherry wood, smooth vanilla, dark roast in the aroma. Coconut and lingering bitter dark chocolate in the sip. Smoke and toffee as it warms. Old-school bitterness helps fend off the sweetness.”
What our editors thought
“Chocolate pine forest and deep coconut curry tones in the aroma. Sweeter coconut with a bit of nutty spice in the sip. Lively with its own verve.”
