A Note on This Beer
This ultra-smooth, roasty-chocolate beast rocketed Fremont Brewing to their status as THE Dark Beer masters of Washington state.
And each year when it returns, Seattle Stout lovers raid the brewery for entire cases of this supremely sippable, expertly balanced, 8% ABV Stout. It’s that freakin’ crave-worthy!
The only problem is, it’s impossible to find east of the Rockies, so best not to tarry before hitting that “Get It” button.
One fan offers this tip: “Just be grateful you get Dark Star. One of the best Stouts ever created.”
This praise is well earned: Dark Star’s silky symphony of char and smoothly toasted oats won Double Gold from Sip Northwest’s Best Beers of the Year!
It shifts between bittersweet baker’s chocolate and Italian roasted coffee on the tongue. A dollop of decadent caramel brings a touch of balance to all the deep roasts. The oats provide the same richness as steamed milk in a freshly-made macchiato.
One taste of Dark Star and you’ll realize why Fremont is such a towering presence in the Pacific Northwest craft scene. Any Dark Beer fan would be missing out without this definitive Seattle Stout — now you can be grateful you’ve got a Dark Star hookup.
