Organic Starr Hill Stout Blend

Born from a collaboration between Red Rooster Coffee and Starr Hill Brewery in Virginia, the Organic Starr Hill Stout Blend was originally crafted to complement the malty depth of Little Red Roostarr Coffee Cream Stout. What started as a brewery project has become a standout medium-dark roast in its own right—rich enough to hold its own with cream and sugar, balanced enough to drink black, and complex enough to keep you coming back. Tasting NotesThis blend opens with deep dark chocolate and praline sweetness, followed by a velvety, full body that coats the palate. The roast level brings out caramelized sugar notes without tipping into bitterness, and there's a subtle citrus brightness in the finish that keeps each sip lively. The acidity is gentle and rounded, making this an approachable coffee for those who typically shy away from darker roasts. The finish is long and smooth, with lingering cocoa and a hint of toasted nuts. Brew MethodsThe Starr Hill Stout Blend shines across multiple brew methods. As espresso, it pulls thick and syrupy with pronounced chocolate notes—excellent in milk drinks where it cuts through beautifully. In a French press or Moka pot, the full body and rich mouthfeel really come forward. Pour over methods like V60 or Chemex reveal more of that citrus complexity and praline sweetness, especially when brewed at a slightly coarser grind. If you're adding cream and sugar, this coffee was practically designed for it, but it's equally satisfying black if you want to taste the roast's full range.
