Haunted Stars is an 8% ABV rye imperial porter rocking a chewy, chocolatey, spicy malt character that coats the mouth and warms the cockles. It starts off rich and full-bodied, with a velveteen texture and creamy dark chocolate flavor, and finishes with a lingering rye spiciness and pleasing earthiness.

750 ml bottle from Half Time. Pours a dark brown color with a foamy light brown head and some strong, sticky lace. Spice, roasted malt, and some coffee. Drinks fairly bitter with a roast / malt backbone. Smooth, somewhat creamy. Good mouthfeel. Nice beer.

Bottle from The Gull, North Vancouver
Black color with huge, compact brown head. There is some cocoa in the aroma, but it’s quite mild. Quite good body strength; the mouthfeel is very smooth; it has a nice profile of roasted malt, rye bread, and some cocoa; blanced bitterness; off dry for the style; hints of cappuccino.
Delicate beer, very well brewed.

650ml bottle at Matt’s. Pours a dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and fruitiness. Taste is similar with low sweetness and moderate roasted malt and hoppy bitterness. Quite good stuff.
