Russian Imperial Stouts are one of my favorite styles of beer and Dark Apparition is with out a doubt my favorite beer to brew. We stuff 850lbs of malt into our 7bbl mash tun. By the end of the mash dark malts are spilling onto the brew house floor. I wanted this beer to include all the great flavors I admire in my favorite Russian Imperial Stouts chocolate, coffee, roast, dark fruit, caramel, and some nice earthy/spicy hop character. The color is midnight black and the body is extremely chewy and dextrinous. Dark Apparition is a huge beer with tons of character. ABV: 10.5% Malt: English 2-row, Six Row, Munich, Special B, Gambrinus Honey Malt, Roasted Barley, Black Patten, Chocolate, Cara 8, White Wheat Hops: Columbus, Perle, Kent Golding Character Builder: Brown Sugar

    Pours opaque dark chocolate brown with a nice golden-tan head. Aroma delivers roast malt, caramel, mocha and molasses tones. Flavor delivers all that the aroma promises while ramping up the chocolate and adding a snip of licorice. Mouthfeel features firm body and good fizz. Join the dark side - we have beer!

    A well rounded imperial stout. Chocolate, roast, caramel, coffee, char in equal measure. Not quite a standout in style (and my 3rd favorite Jackie O's stout out of 4) but still pretty dang good. Quite smooth and drinkable.

    22oz bottle .. . Pours a deep brown black .. . light foam, light sticky lacing .. . now all we have to do is catch a sword! .. . light roast, tar and oil .. . pretty good and nicely balanced .. . . I'll do the dishes when I pick it out of the chore hat and it's not a practice..... See, there it is! But that was a practice. The system works!

    Solid imperial stout, from the pub down in Athens. Thick, chunky pour producing a very robust aroma. Mouthfeel is exceptional, full bodied and extremely smooth. Flavors are standard fare of this style and all compete for equal playing time. Very nice.
