A black beer brewed with roasted barley malt and challenger hops. Then freshly ground Arabica coffee beans, blended especially for Dark Star, are added to the copper for a few minutes after the boil to provide a rich and complementary coffee aroma. NOT EVERYONE’S CUP OF TEA!

Black beer, thick beige bubbly head. Aroma of toasty malt and coffee. Flavour is coffee, vanilla, chocolate, some caramel. Bit thin. Not spectacular but very drinkable.

Bottle at home, from independent shop in Lewes. Turned out o be a very smooth coffee beer. Was incredibly malty / roasted and enjoyably drunk slowly after a meal.

Handpump at Cask Pub and Kitchen in London. Deep black pour, little foam. Nose: black chocolate, cappuccino, strong coffee bean. Mouth: strong coffee infusion, easy and rich stout with raw notes of coffee. Good one. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
