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.

Pours dark black with medium sized dark tan head. Nose is salty, roasted malts, some sugar, vanilla, coriander. Taste is heavily burnt malts, some bitterness, a bit thin and acidic. Additional flavors are chocolate, vanilla, some coffee, and a light bit of oatmeal. I think if they could kill the acidic quality and make it more chewy, it would be about an 80.
