A rich and robust blend of light, caramel, and dark malts sets the stage for BBC Dark Star Porter’s robust presence on the palate. This smooth but robust porter has complex notes of chocolate and roasted grains balanced by additions of traditional English hops, creating a delicious chocolaty and smooth ale.

Bottle pours a very dark brown with some ruby highlights. Nice cramy tan head that leaves thick even sheets of lacing. Aroma is the common porter dark roasted,. chocolate malts and slightly sour twang. Flavor was mostly the bitter roasted smokey flavor. Fairly thin feel and a nice old campfire aftertaste. Thanks to Ohiodad for this one.

A nice coffee-like, roasted aroma follows the pour of this dark-bodied porter. Flavor is of coffee and fresh roasted malts, with a lactic sour feel. Overall, a robust example of the style, but exactly like a decent homebrew made from malt extract.

Tasted at the Barrelhouse Brewing Company Microbrew Fest on November 9. Dark mahogany color with a thin milk chocolate colored head. Aroma was of faint chocolate. Very good roasted coffee bean flavor that was somewhat sharp. I do think it needs to be tweaked a little for a more rounded flavor.
