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!

Bottle by Cuso. Aroma strong roasted, coffee, dark fruits. Clear very dark colour. Taste got loads of roasted flavours going on, there is coffee and also slightly burnt/ash. Light chocolate. Rather thin bodied, lacks a bit of malty backbone. After all quite drinkable, but strong flavours.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from an online retailer. Pours deep brown with a frothy beige head that quickly settles into a film. The aroma holds charred malts, burnt coffee grounds, hints of cocoa and earth. Light to medium sweet flavor with a bit of damp tobacco, mild espresso, some burnt toast, light bitter earth, burnt wood, ash. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more ashy roast, scorched earth and relaxed coffee character. Fine overall

Caña en el lúpulo el 02-10-2014. primer día de pinchado.color negro intenso con poca espuma beige poco persistente. Aromas ligeros de maltas tostadas y café. Sabores también ligeros con predominio de café quedándose corta de cuerpo ya que sus 4.2 vol la convierten en algo muy fácil de beber y con poca "chicha". Parecido a un café solo, con mucho hielo. Solo al final parece coger ""algo"" de fuerza. ligera, normal.

Tasty coffee stout, nice notes of espresso, with a body of cacao malt I think. Good beer.

Bottle from Vino Wines. Black body with a thin tan head. Nice lacing. Aroma of coffee grounds, brambles and dirt. Flavour of espresso, earth and plum. Medium body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft carbonation. A rich, flavoursome Stout, especially considering the ABV. It’s a bit watery, but aside from that it’s very good. Possibly better suited to cask.

Aroma of roasted malts and coffee. Prominent roasted, powdery malt taste. Strong coffee finish with a touch of charcoal.

Bottle from Booths. Black with not much of a head. Has a full aroma with plenty of coffee evident. It’s much less stated in its taste but at the same time it’s still tasty.
