STARR HILL BREWERY - Dark Starr Stout Review





Type: Stout

ABV: 4.2%

Color: The darkest brown, basically black with a nice tan head

Aroma: Coffee, caramel, alcohol, and smoked malt are abundant.

Taste: Smokey and dry with a very little amount of bitterness, alcohol and woodsey essences.

Overall: I preface this, this way...I am not too fond of stouts, but i still try them to hopefully one day finding that awesome stout that is out there. With that being said, I really didn't enjoy this one at all. Surprisingly light body for a stout. The taste of alcohol is the reason I'm not digging it at all...It is the most awarded DRY IRISH STOUT in the country. Sorry, but i don't really get it. The main reason i grabbed this one is because of the Grateful Dead tribute...Obviously!

Score: 5/10
