Very good. Big hoppy nose, nicely balanced roasty-bitter flavours, smooth, full and creamy palate, no trace of alcohol. They know what they're doing!

Robert Burns Single Malt

Pretty classy mild whiskey. Almost summery if that's possible.

It is quite good - we don't actually hate good beer with Beau's name on it.

Now - Domaine Michelas St-Jemms Sainte Epine Saint-Joseph 2009. Still have a few from last year, nice Syrah-driven Northern Rhône red.

Had one a few weeks back and noted the same. Wasn't sure if it was the beer or my palate, but now I know!

That's odd. I've never had even a mild sour note in Abyss before. But I also haven't had the 2014 yet. Will have to give it a try soon.

Sorry, with the exception of 2009 of course.

Didn't come across like a full blown infection wood. The sourness was mild, but present.
