Last night we visited The Abyss, a three year vertical flight to be specific. The wife and I had a handful of friends over for the momentous occasion, along with a full flight of other fancy brews from the cellar. Also drank this evening was a bottle of Deschutes 2008 Dissident, ’09 Mirror Mirror, Black Butte XXI, Jubel2010and two rare reserve series brews from Nebraska Brewing Company; their Melange A Trois and Fathead Barleywine.

Of the Abyss flight, the general consensus was that the ’07 was the best from a style standpoint, and the ’09 had some brett funk that actually made it fairly remarkable.Of the other brews, the Dissident aged very well. It was one of those beers I was expecting to turn into vinegar or be too funked.
