Had on hand pump at the Royal Albert Hotel in Sydney. This is an oyster stout.
Pours a deep brown colour, relatively opaque but with a rather thin body. Fluffy, large-bubbled head of beige that froths from the pump at pour but then crackles its way out of existence. Fine, but almost no carbonation: about what you expect. Lace forms in specks.
Brown bread noticeable on the nose, a bit savoury, but wholesome and grainy. Rounded stout characters with a dusty savoury note that reminds me of miso. Roasted characters are there, though, with a flat filter coffee aroma.
Taste is a little better and more integrated. Rounded stout characters give a muted sweetness and a savoury roast character, while more brown bread comes through mid-palate. Slight hint of pancake towards the finish, although there's certainly less of the lip-smacking savoury character I've had from other oyster stouts.
Feel is pleasant from the hand-pump, as expected.
Drinkable and nice. I like the smoothness, I like the stout. The oysters have some presence (and could use maybe a touch more). Overall, this is a tasty drop from the YH guys.
