Phipps brewery was built on two great beers, Phipps IPA and Ratliffe's Stout. This fresh modern development marries the dark chocolate malt grist of Ratliffes with the subtle fruity hop selection of the IPA. Like all Phipps beers, Black Star is an eminently drinkable and balanced brew with a smooth creamy body supporting a surprisingly hoppy finish. Is it and ale? is it a stout? is it a porter? who can say!, it certainly is a fine pint of beer that rewards the adventurous drinker.
