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.

Bottle from dkachur, thanks! Almost black and opague. Milky, roasty aroma with apple syrup. Thin. Roast flavor with apple. Inoffensive but nothing special.

Not a terrible beer, just very low on aroma. Not particularly dry either. Pours black with foamy mocha head and decent lacing. Very light roast. Life bitter finish with a little booze. Bottle.

Tap. Pours deep ruby black, small creamy brown head, nice lacing. Aroma is roasty, cigarettes. Flavor follows, light sweet, light bitter, roasty, a bit burned. Fairly light body, a bit watery. Not bad, but nothing special.

It pours a dark brown body, clear looking and topped by a dense, finger-thick light beige head. The aroma is quite burnt and bonfire-like, with some dried fruits. Not my preferred kind of stout I think, even though the flavor is quite pleasant. But in small quantities. Roasted malts, charcoal and some prunes in the flavor, some bitterness. Medium to full body, quite dry, but with some residual sweetness. Lasting burnt and roasted finish. Nah… 131122
