Description
Stark Brewing Company originally started back in 1994 as the Stark Mill Brewery. Stark Mill was the first brewery in the city and was brought to life through the efforts of Brewmaster Peter Telge. Peter is a Manchester native, born and raised here in the Queen City, and has been in charge of the brewery for over 20 years now. In 1999, the brewery underwent a rebranding to keep up with the times and opened back up as Milly's Tavern, named after Peter's favorite German Shepherd, who is honored in our logo. Stark Brewing Company is proud to continue its devoted legacy as being Manchester's only brewpub, bringing fresh beer, delicious food, and great times to the people of New England.

Pours a black colour with no visible highlights. The mocha-coloured head is nice, decent lasting, leaving patchy creamy lacing. The nose is full of dark fruits over the roasted malt base, so smelling this reminds me more of a porter. The taste has the same and hard to feel the oatmeal sweetness and smoothness. Maybe in the mouthfeel, some silkiness. Hints of smokiness and caramel do come out in the aromas after a while. A very decent dark fruity beer.
