Abduction in the dead of night, an eerie silence consumes the blackened sky. In an instant, BOOM, a single beam engulfs you. Panic stricken, you flee in no particular direction. It’s of little use, as you’re lifted effortlessly from the safety and comfort of the earth into a darkness unknown. Resistance is futile. They have you now. Abduction has you now.

Sampled from the tap at GTMW 2018. Pours pitch black with a dark woody brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of dark chocolate and dark gains with roasted malts, vanilla and bourbon supporting. Flavor has lots of chocolate and bourbon with dark grains, roasted malts and vanilla backing.

Bottle. Pours black with medium creamy tan head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is strong roasted malt and chocolate. Thick mouth, chewy, nice roast, dark chocolate, light bitterness, boozy finish, very good. --- Beer merged from original tick of The Abduction on 01 May 2016 at 03:37 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 9.

Bottle, Batch #44, 2012. Oops :(. Pours opaque black with a small brown creamy head that dissipates leaving solid lacing. So far, so good. Aroma is really chocolatey, like REALLY chocolate, with heavy roasted malts and a hint of anise. Some molasses on the back end as well. Flavor has all of the above, light plus sweet and medium bitter, rich and cocoa filled, coffee grounds, a hint of sharpmess about it. Lingering roasty bitterness. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. This guy held up well, methinks
