Brewed by Harpoon brewer Katie Tame, using Island Creek oyster farmer Skip Bennett’s revered Duxbury Bay oysters, this beer has a rich body and smooth mouthfeel derived in part from a combination of roasted barley and chocolate rye malts. The roasted malt notes blend beautifully with the briny, mineral flavors of the Island Creek oysters. An addition of hops adds some bitterness to balance the malt sweetness. This, the 30th installment of the Harpoon 100 Barrel Series, is best enjoyed with a plate full of Island Creek Oysters.

I had this many years ago and it was wonderful. Oyster stouts are like unicorns. Nobody makes them. Which I understand. Beer brewed with oysters sounds awful but they're not. The brinyness of the oysters adds a real depth to the stout. Phenomenal beer.
