In honour of one of the bestselling recording artists 25th and final album, we give you a craft stout both smooth in texture but complex in taste. Carefully selected malts complimenting perfectly the chocolate and coffee base of this smooth craft delight. A imperfection milder coloured head dequishes from the rest. “Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried, I'm a Blackstar”. RIP DB

21/1/2023. Can shared at the first ITFC 2023 beer share. From Beer Central, Sheffield. Pours very dark mahogany brown with a small frothy pale beige head. Aroma of milk chocolate, light roasted malt, dark fruits, light coffee, soapy edge. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body, slightly watery, average carbonation. Not the breweries best.

On keg at Don Valley Tap. Half-pint shared with Finn. Patchy beige head, coal black body, upper part lacing. Roasted doughy malts on the nose. Taste of grainy chocolate followed by a roasted finish. Rounded mouthfeel. Pretty decent stout. (Doncaster 30.01.2020).
