COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
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 lifed effortlessly from the safety and comfort of the earth intoa darkness unknown. Resistance is futile. They have you now. Abduction has you now.

Batch 041: 10/8/12

22 oz. bottle shared by Jeff. Pours deep brown black with a thin tan head that settles to a wispy film and thin collar. Aroma is hops and malt with the hops being very strong. Taste is bitter hops fruity and rich coffee with some fruit and resinous hops. Palate is full and sticky with a drying finish. Pretty solid.

Atom (995) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - FEB 12, 2013
Bomber batch 60 thanks to pawola22 pours a dark black/brown with a medium tan head. Aroma of hops, chocolate malts, licorice, and alcohol. Taste similar to aroma, nice hops, big alcohol presence, some biscuit. A decent imperial stout but nothing mind blowing, well done but overall average.

peteinSD (957) - San Diego, California, USA - FEB 6, 2013
Bottle from Zach - thanks! Black pour with a quickly fading tan head. Aroma is dry chocolate, roast, coffee, and pine bitterness. Taste is pine heavy with hop bitterness over chocolate and semi-boozy sweet malt. Slightly coating mouthfeel. I like the bitterness from the hops but the base imperial stout is a bit too buried under the bitterness.

Bottle. Pours black with a dark brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of roasted malts with a bit of earthy dark grain and a touch of coffee. Flavor has a good amount roasted malts and a good amount of coffee with just a bit of dark grains.

Bomber. Batch 41.Pours a pitch black color with a medium creamy brown head. A nice nose of ash, fruity hops. The flavor is initially quite hoppy with pine, some light roast, cocoa, more ash and bitter dark chocolate. Really hoppy for a stout and well made. Great full palate.
