3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft pour opaque black. Nose roast, chocolate and espresso. Very smooth palate. Taste dark chocolate and muted roast. Expected a hint of brine, but didn’t get it.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On draught at the Lobster House in Asheville. Pours almost opaque black into the glass, with a one-finger retentive choco-tan head that leaves thick lacing. Woody-smoked chocolate to the nose. Creamy mouthfeel, with roasted coffee and chocolate to the tongue. The finish is silky, of coffee. The sea salt comes through nicely with other trace minerals. Crisp and dry but extremely creamy and fluffy on the palate. Nice job.

Draft at Lobster trap. Pours black with a quarter inch of khaki foam that leaves lacing. As the beer warms the roasted noted on the notes become more prominent but are still not very demonstrative. Big roasted notes on the tongue. A little bit of bitterness on the finish. Nice!

Draft at the restaurant, alongside a delicious salad. Super, super creamy, and full of gamey character. Just what you’d expect from a classic oyster stout in a place called the Lobster Trap/Oyster House. Well done. (#4317, 10/6/2011)

Beer pours black with thick tan lacing. There is a mild aroma of stone and earth. The beer does have a hint of saltiness on the palate. It is brewed with oysters which is very unique. This beer looks a lot a heavier than it is. A pleasing beer that is a great accompaniment to seafood.
