Oyster Stout
16 Mile Brewing Company

12oz bottle thanks to delabierman. Near black pour with small, tight beige head. Smoky, roast grain aroma, taste brings a bit of the oysters forward, a little salty.a little ashy. Nice.

 

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Pours pitch black with a small light brown head. Smells of sweet dark grain with hints of chocolate and coffee. Tastes of chocolate and coffee with hints of sweet dark grain. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, an average beer.

 

It pours very dark brown with a small head. The aroma has coffee and burnt bread. Do no detect any smokiness or brine in the taste. Lingering bitterness which goes well with the smooth mouthfeel. A very nice beer indeed.

 

12 oz bottle, no date

Very dark brown, almost black, no head. Roasty aroma, bitter cocoa. Taste is a bit acidic, a bit unbalanced. Body is a bit too thin for the style.

 

 

 

Pours a very dark brown and nearly opaque black color. Very modest head disapates into an ultra thin ring like lace that dissapears halfway.
Roasted malt aromas, coffee, wood and some cherry. The taste is mostly aligned with the aroma, as the roasted malts are prominent. There is a slight underlying milky sweetness especially in the finish. However, mid palate the bittering hops become more prominent as does the wood and slightly burnt malt feel. The finish and aftertaste also become dry.The feel is creamy and smooth and medium bodied; relatively light and drinkable for a stout.
Overall, I enjoyed this stout.

 

 

 

 

Don't taste oysters but good tasting beer.

 

 

 

Undated bottle into pint glass. Pours an almost opaque black - just a little light at the edges. Tan head dissipates quickly. Initial impression is roasted malts, unsweetened chocolate, wood smoke, and oyster brine. Mouthfeel is quite thin for a stout. Carbonation is about right - on the light side. Finish brings out the oyster brine nicely. An OK oyster stout, but not the pick of the litter by any means.
