Not that great compared to others in the local brew scene. Dark, slightly bitter. I'm not sure if it was oystery or not, but had a unique taste.

On tap at the brewery yesterday. Dark brown color with a little tan head. Roasted malt aroma. Flavor was basic oatmeal stout, mild roasted malts with light notes of chocolate and coffee. I was unable to detect anything in the aroma or the flavor that would suggest the oyster shells were ever there. Again, decent oatmeal stout, but nothing special.

In tap at 21a. This is a basic oatmeal stout. I am disappointed I didn’t get any notes of oyster stout

Very dark brown colour. Almost black. Small light beige head. Bold roasted malt aroma. Chocolate and raisins. Body is fairly light. Crisp refreshing finish.

On tap at the brewpub. It pours dark brown with a khaki head. The aroma is kind of fruity with a touch of anise and roast. The flavor is soft and a bit spicy with a nice creamy body. It tastes a bit muted actually with only a hint of cocoa and coffee. Was expecting at least a hint of brine but no dice. Not one I would really seek out again.

Draft @ 21st Amendment. Pours a dark, cola-brown color; creamy, fine-bubbled medium-tan head with light retention and solid lacing. Modest cola and roasted-malt character in the aroma; quiet, dry, a touch hollow. Medium body; medium to medium-high CO2; medium-high acidity. Some nice buffering citrus and mineral bitterness at the front of things; not a ton of hop flavor, but nice presence in the mouth; roasted malts, dark chocolate, and pleasant maltiness (some light chalkiness), but overall a dry, highly drinkable beer; tasty dry-ish stout. Lasting, bitter finish with light roast, dark chocolate; toasty.

On tap at 21st Amendment. Very dark brown in color, nearly black, with a one finger tan head that lasts. The aroma is like a typical good sweet stout, roasty with baker’s chocolate, with a slight briny note to it. On the flavor, you again get just a hint of brininess and no real oyster. I think they should’ve thrown more of the suckers in there, but whatever, it’s still good. Roasty with coffee and dark chocolate. Medium-bodied and fairly dry for a sweet stout with average carbonation level. Enjoyable stuff overall.

Medium beige head. Nearly opaque black body goes dark brown at edges. Roasty mealy aroma with soy sauce notes. Dry-sweetish roasty soy sauce taste with chocolate notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry oatmeal and roasty earthy aftertaste with burnt notes. Nice, but not great. (0.4l draft at brewpub.)

Tap. Almost black, brown head. Aroma of dark cocoa. taste is dry, slightly sweet, very nice.

Aroma of roasted malts.. Black in color... Flavor is roasted malts, hints of burnt toffee... Can’t taste much oyster.. Still not a bad stout

on tap-pours a tan head and black color. Aroma is oyster broth, dark malt-roasty. Taste is sweet dark malt-roasty/molasses, then oyster broth. Finishes somewhat dry. Interesting.
