Consumed in April 2017.

Pours black leaning into dark brown. 4/5" tan head. Solid retention. Interesting aroma, got more going on than just roasted malt, there is a smoky saline aspect to it, like an ocean beach fire.

Taste keeps going in the same direction. There is the obligatory roasted malt coffee and chocolate like notes, but then you get the salinity. Then you get the smoke. Bitterness seems around 75ibu. Its really nice and crushable too, they didn't Dark Lord it up and go double digit abv, the nice restraint works well here to be able to taste all the nuance of some unique ingredients to say the least. Mouth feel is fine, same stuff, moderate and appropriate amount of carbonation. The dryness afterward is greater than the very mild sweet spot, if any.

I thought it was a pretty cool beer. Its unique enough to put out a sub 6% stout these days, but then to do it with the oyster work they put in, double unique and its actually enjoyable to drink too. Only regret is I didn't pair a cigar with it, which I'm sure would be delightful.

22 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled in 4/2012. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 2-3 finger dense and rocky tan head with amazing retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Amazing appearance. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, oysters, sea salt, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, molasses, raisin, prune, fig, date, smoke, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/black/roast/bready malts, oyster sauce/shells, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with big strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, oysters, sea salt, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, molasses, raisin, prune, fig, date, smoke, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light pine, herbal, woody, grassy, peppery, roast, charred bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, oysters, sea salt, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, dark bread/crust, licorice, molasses, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast/bready malts, oyster sauce/shells, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with an awesome roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness. Light-medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky/chalky/saline mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 5.6%. Overall this is an outstanding Oyster stout. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast/bready malts, oyster sauce/shells, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/charred/drying finish; great soft/silky feel for the ABV. Awesome balance of rich malts and oyster sauce/shells; with solid earthy hops, and restrained fruity yeast. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding spot on English style example as expected. Not overwhelming on any aspect. Held up amazingly well for 7.5 years at the low ABV.

Bottle share at Proof. Dark black with a great creamy tan head that lasts pretty well. Smoky and toasty malt aroma. Smoky-malty-chocolate flavor. Not much of the hint of salty-brine I typically see in oyster stouts. Great creamy mouthfeel with nice aftertaste of silty chocolate. Creamy nitro-like carbonation and thick viscous body.
