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!

[Cask at The Evening Star, Brighton] An opaque deep red beer with a fine lasting chocolate brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted, but very light. The flavor is sweet malty and roasty with coffee notes, though less than expected. I think it was served too cold.

Very dark ruby, good expresso head. Sweetish trefoil aroma. Chocolaty, roasted, softly hopped, slightly earthy. Bitter long aftertaste. Medium-bodied. A bit similar to Dark Star’s Dark Star.

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm.
Dark black, creamy small brown head. Strong coffee aroma. Sweet and very roasty with soft, creamy mouthfeel. Lingering resiny very bitter finish. Packed with flavour, but not very complex. Still a great pint.
