Oyster Stout Suggestions

you guys named all my favorites here.good lists

 

Abita Select Oyster Stout was really good on tap.

 

^ This. Best oyster stout I've had.

 

Its a common misconception that oyster stouts taste like oysters or are briny. They don't, and the biggest difference is that the calcium from the oyster shells gives the beer a more velvety mouthfeel.

You may or may not want to avoid Wynkoop's Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout for your friend!

 

+ 1 for porterhouse

 

Completely agree on Marooned on Hog Island by 21st Amendment. You can find it and it is an amazing representation of the style. Flying Fish Exit 1 also was excellent, though they do not make it any more. Here is hoping they do again smetime in the near future.

 

I just had my first oyster stout today from a Belgian brewery named Scheldebrouwerij. If I understood the Dutch label correctly, the wort is pumped through oyster shells. The taste was amazing for a stout, lots of dark chocolate, roasted coffee. But I couldn't possibly find any oyster or even remote seafood flavor in this.



And now look what's going on in this glass using a flash:

 

hah I see what you did there
