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!

Actual coffee stout with added coffee beans. Beige head, colour near to black; aroma and flavour dominated by a real, espresso-like coffee character, with subtle accents of peat, caramelly malts, dried fruits and charcoal. My cup of tea.
