650ml bottle. Deep reddish dark brown colour with small to average, frothy, fading, minimally lacing, beige head. Cautious dark malty aroma, minimally salty. Taste is monotonously dry dark malty, subtle sweetness, minimally roasty and salty touch in the finish; smooth, silk palate, soft carbonation.

Poured from the bottle into a trumpet glass to drink. The beer had a watery pour with a dark brown-black color with a dark brown hue and was mostly cloudy, featuring a very small had that quickly dissipated, with lower cling and lacing. Its aroma had a sweet malty caramel component blended with a lighter chocolate and oyster character, along with some grassy and grainy hops. The taste was a sour-sweet grainy blend with some oyster notes, and a light caramel malt sweetness. It had a very light and wet mouthfeel with a light body that had low carbonation and fizz.

22oz bottle provided by Arg0, thanks! Poured a brown/ruby color with a wispy, white head. Aroma has some nutty, malt notes. Flavor was roasted malts, with a touch of vanilla with a touch of minerals. Enjoyed.

dark chestnut, thin white ring. Nose is rain-water, light brown grain, chocolate. Flavor is chocolate, light grain and mint through the finish. Bit thin, low carbonation. Dull.

22oz bottle. Small beige head atop cola black body. Aroma is medium sweet, roast, some milk chocolate. Taste is roast, some milk chocolate, faint salt. Light-medium body, minimal carbonation.

The beer is cola brown with a beige head of broken bubbles. The aroma is of roast, brown bread, sea salt? Oyster character comes through fairly well. The feel is a bit thin and weak. Flavor is mediocre. Ok. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

651mL thanks to argo0. Pours a clearer brown, weak carbonation. No head formation. Nose is decent vanilla, hazelnut, dark cherry. Taste is thin, sweet cherry, mild roasted grain, lemon tea. Weak palate. Surprisingly no brewing flaws, but not a stout and certainly no oyster character or even salty character.

Bottle courtesy of argo0, thank you! Dark brown color, pretty flat. Aroma of earthy chocolate and light salt. Taste is u sweetened cocoa and coffee, mineral background. Decent.

Bottle. Pours a clear dark brown body with a small fizzy light brown head that fell to a thin ring. The nose is pretty decent, some roast, dark chocolate, and coffee with a light briney and mineral character. The flavor is a little too forward on the mineral and salty qualities for me. Tastes like they may have gone a little overboard with the oysters in order to make a point that this is made with oysters. Finishes especially salty, and it lingers on forever. Lighter bodied with soft fizzy carbonation. This isn’t the most pleasant beer to drink. Not so sure that this bomber can be finished.

To me this is way to bitter for a stout. Not too carbonated and actually has a light mouth full , it s like an upgraded guiness
