Commercial Description:
Starr Hill’s Dark Starr Stout has won more national and international awards than any other Dry Irish Stout in the country. Brewed with roasted barley, and with hints of coffee and dark chocolate, it packs a robust taste into a surprisingly light body. This signature brew pours like velvet and drinks like a slice of grandma’s pumpernickel bread.

Bottle pours a dark mahogany body with a tall khaki head. Weak aroma has some cocoa and a hint of dark fruits. Light medium body seems a bit thin. Taste has some dark roasty bitterness with hints of coffee, nuttiness, and bittersweet chocolate. Plenty of powdered cocoa flavor going on here with a bittersweet malty finish. Not bad, but not very memorable.

Pours deep amber and with tan head. The aroma is nice with molasses, chocolate, some burnt malts to go along with mildly roasty malts. The taste is smooth and thin with roast, some burnt malts, a bit of coffee and a touch of chocolate. It gets very thin into the finish with lingering burnt malts.

Bottle. Poured black in color with a very light brown head that was fully diminishing with fair lacing. The aroma was very, very mild with a slight hint of chocolate and coffee malts and a tinge of toffee.It tasted bitter-sweet with a nice hoppy finish that lasted only a short while. Mourthfeel was light to medium bodied with a watery feel to it. Overall not much to offer but tastes OK.
