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.

This is definitely one of the lighest stouts I’ve ever had. Slightly more carbonated than most stouts, it pours dark with a very light head...that pretty much disintegrated. Tastes of caramel and coffee...very very tasty.

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.
