2/4/13. 12oz can from Warehouse in Valdosta, GA. Deep brown pour with a nice khaki/tan head that is somewhat loose and soapy. The head fades to a thick ring and laces decently. Caramel, chocolate, ash, a hint of sourness, and a touch of a mineral aspect all in the aroma. The flavor is much the same, plenty of caramel and chocolate, with a subtle dose of sour, ash, and minerals. Tasty enough!

12 oz. can from SoHo Organic Market in Elizabeth City, NC. Cola-like dark brown pour with a frothy khaki head. Rich aroma of roasted coffee and sweet malts. Solid flavor of roasted malts, dark chocolate, black coffee, and light smoke. Finishes bitter but not overpowering. The chocolate and coffee flavors are more present in this beer than many oyster stouts I have tried previously. Very nicely done.

I get some dark chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, and some brown sugar in the aroma. Palate is super creamy. Flavor is sweet with an odd kind of aftertaste.

12oz can compliments of AndyReynolds - pours black with beige head. Nose is milk chocolate. Flavor adds coffee and some roast. Somewhat sweet and moderately bitter. Interesting. Creamy. Odd aftertaste. Bitterness gets stronger as it warms. Just to annoy my donor, go Big Blue!

Can from Mari’s. Pours black without light coming through. There is a really big light brown head that hangs around and leaves a good bit of lacing. The aroma has a nice lactic note up front, some coffeelike sweetness, a little roast. The taste is much bigger than the aroma with some dark chocolate, bitter coffee grounds, roastiness, and a bit of salt. Palate is perfectly enjoyable while being drinkable..

12oz can: pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with a creamy froth of beige head. Has a fresh roasted dark malty nose with a hint of sea salt. Starts with good fullness and fine carbonation with light sweetness , some dark fruits and dry-roasted coffee wrapped up with a dry bittersweet finish. Very true to style with good balance and drinkability.

My first Oyster stout! As a stout, it's very apropos -- roasted malt flavor with some hoppiness, smooth, semi-thick texture, and midnight black in color with a white-ish, short-lived froth. The oysters do indeed coming through, adding an unusual taste to the flavor and which along with the roastiness perseveres. Recommended, though wouldn't mind it being a bit thicker and at a higher ABV.

Appearance: Pours a solid dark brown, letting no light through at all. Atop sits a sparse layer of micro film and a tan ring around the edges.
Aroma: Roasty dark malt, dark chocolate and a little bit of wine.
Taste: Medium coffee roast, black pepper, burnt toast, dark chocolate. A little bit of a twang in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Active spicy carbonation. Full bodied.
Overall: Very simple, and pretty well executed. I usually get a spicy throat coating from oyster stouts, but not this time.

This stout has a color that’s dark brown and a dense, light brown head. It looks very nice. Wow… what’s it in that smell? Oysters!!! The oysters really come through in this beer… it even tastes a little like oyster crackers. That oyster thing totally controls the aroma, and in the mouth it’s more of exactly the same, with an almost alcohol-like sticky sweetness left behind on the lips – but with a very odd metallic sweetness in the finish. Weird, but good!
