3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hanger Room Firkin Fest, October 2011. Black of course. With a rich palate & a heavy, oily beer. I pick up a little smoke, as well as chocolate and coffee, with the flavor having more coffee and a grain character. I do not perceive anything else, so, I can’t tell the oyster is there, but it is a good stout anyway.

Rich (though not especially thick) head on a dark brown body. Relatively rich mouthfeel with relatively low carbonation/tingle. Good rich flavors, too, mostly coffee and chocolate, low hops. I don’t get anything else (i.e. oyster) but it makes for a very drinkable and enjoyable stout. The body helps a lot in elevating it from average to above average.

Tap at Ngon. Dark black pour, creamy 1/4 inch root beer float colored head and a subtle chocolate aroma. Flavor is creamy dark roasted malt a little more semi-sweet chocolate and a very rich and decadent thick finish. Really enjoyable, would happily pay another $5 for another glass.

Dark brown pour with not much head, coffee aroma and a hint of ocean or salt water, taste was coffee and maybe I was duped by the name but got some oyster or other shellfish. Very interesting beer and recommend for the uniqueness factor!
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: NOV 6, 2011 Tap at The Muddy Pig in St. Paul, MN. Nice dark brown to black pour with slight light getting through on the edges. Awesome cold coffee aroma. Medium palate. Taste is light roasted coffee, and the taste.... I think I can actually be talked into oyster. Very intriguing and good.
