COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Creamy, robust, Irish style dry stout, full of flavors from deep-roasted barley malts. The slight hint of chocolate is born of the meticulous marriage of malts and hops. Originating in Ireland, and now brewed here in Texas, this is a beer for those who desire a big taste.

Deep brown in color with a solid kahki-colored thick head. Smooth with a roasty chocolatey character...similar to a guinness with more chocolatey tones.

Mora2000 (2732) - Dallas, Texas, USA - MAY 22, 2011
On tap at the brewpub. The beer pours a dark brown to black color with an off-white head. The aroma is heavy on the chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor is more of the same. The dry chocolate really stands out and goes well with the roasted malt. Medium to thick mouthfeel and medium carbonation. The best of the five Blue Star beers that were on tap.
