Taste: bold notes of dark chocolate, coffee beans, roasted malts, some sweet, some vanilla beans, smooth with a boozy kick. Same with the nose. Black, opaque, tan head and lace. Full body. A rich after dinner stout.

Jet black brew with a short brown head that recedes to the edges and hangs around. Only a few random spots of lacing are left behind. The aroma is sweet, roasted malt with a ton of coffee and a bit of vanilla. The flavor is like the nose with sweet, roasty malt, tons of coffee and a nice touch of vanilla. Very tasty.

Pours opaque dark brown in color with 1/4 inch head. Taste is big coffee, roasted malt, and a nice vanilla and cracker backbone. Heavy bodied, roasty, and light carbonation. Doesn't overwhelm with coffee. Very balanced and one of the better Abduction beers I have had.
