COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed with fresh oyster. A smooth drinking aromatic stout with a discernible but unidentifiable aromatic aspect. Not suitable for vegetarians. This gently flavored stout has a roast malt character, full body and an aromatic character from the Goldings hops. Fresh oysters added during the brewing process, lend a discernible yet unidentifiable note.

kerenmk (1214) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - MAY 21, 2013
Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks zvikar. Clear coke brown with beige head. Some ink, seaweed, iodine and some saltiness aroma. Tastes bitter and a little salty. There’s more evidence of roasted stuff in the mouth. Medium body, delicate fizz, salty finish, Very tasty but not aggressive enough.

Smells chocolaty with a hint of the ocean. Pours deep brown with red tints and thin almost nonexistent head. Tastes slightly sweet with a hint of fishiness, not overpowering. Goes down smooth and creamy, but leaves a fishy aftertaste.

jhliesen (607) - West Melbourne, Florida, USA - APR 13, 2013
Bottle---dark brown color, similar to coke, with a foamy head that dissipates and leaves lacing on the glass. Medium aroma of roast malt and chocolate. There is a bit of an off aroma, not bad, but different, could it be the oysters? Who knows. Light roast taste with medium sweetness, the finish is the same. Overall, a "soft" stout. Total Wine.

Clear and strong taste of salt and oysters is in the + column. But I find it too fizzy and thin on all other qualities for a Stout. More exiting than good.
