  • Pours opaque with a finger of mocha colored, thick foam. Retention is nice but eventually recedes to a creamy ring around the snifter edges. Lacing is thick, lasting and coating, retreating while leaving half behind.

    Aroma is rich. Licorice, roast and chocolate. Caramel. Quite nice.

    Taste of roast, caramel and chocolate are blended, yet distinct.

    Big body with a stiff carbonation thickens the body. Creaminess to the sip. Dries the palate, leaves the lips slightly sticky.

    A solid offering, again, from Jackie O's. In spite of the alcohol level there is none to be found in each fantastic sip. Not over the top: well rounded. Enjoy.

Beer Notes
  • Chocolate, coffee, roast, dark fruit, caramel, and some nice earthy/spicy hop character. With a midnight black color and chewy, dextrinous body, Dark Apparition is a huge beer with tons of character.
