 ... am a huge fan of stouts this genuine and this unpretentious espresso flavoured stout takes some beating. I found it a pleasant ale, not too bitter and a little biscuity. Nicely dry on the finish its looks well in the glass with its creamy brown head just as a stout should be. With an ABV of 4.2% Dark Star Espresso will make the session so long as the drinker doesn't find it too heavy. Made with real espresso beans this is a must drink ale that's available on draught or in the bottle....more

It was no surprise that my eyes were drawn to a barrel up on the top of the stillage ~ Dark Star Espresso Stout! ~~~THE BREWERY. The Dark Star Brewing Company is based at Moonhill Farm, Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. Founded back in 1994 (but called Skinners Ales to start with) in the cellar of a pub called The Evening Star in Brighton. They moved on to Moonhill Farm ...  Read the complete review
