Winter's here! Look up into the night sky! Are you Starstruck? Time to chuck another log on the fire and warm up with a Starstruck | Chocolate Milk Stout.  Better than a cup of warm cocoa and made with more layers of the finest Crisp Malt than your favourite chocolate gateau cake.  East Kent Golding Hops and lashings of lactose milk sugar and cacao nibs combine in your Starstruck Chocolate Milk Stout. Well, what are you waiting for? Time to whip up a Keg or two right away, great in the depths of a cold winter and delicious and sweet in the warmer weather as well.

Cheers! #brewhappy #drinkhappier #enjoyresponsibly
