Scheldebrouwerij Oesterstout

Pours a dark amber brown with a thin beige head. Nose is all chocolate milk. Medium to full body, creamy feeling with lots of milk chocolate on the palate, medium carbonation, hints of dried fruits (raisins) that finishes on a lactic note. There is lactose in it that’s for sure. Forget about the zealand oysters! It’s all milk chocolate in there. Interesting stout.

Pours a dark brown color with a thin light brown head. Aroma of coacoa and some sweetness. Flavor of coacoa, sweetness and mild roasted malt. The body is light and creamy while the carbonation is moderate.

Dark brown with no head. Aroma of milk chocolate, and dark toffee. Dry chocolate roasty flavour, somewhat boring.

Bottle at Café België in Utrecht, 12th June 09. Dark brown with a sweet, somewhat salty flavour.

Bottle, Vilvordia fest. Dark brown beer with quick-fading light brown head. Geometric "Belgian" bubbles correctly forebodes lively, carbonated mouthfeel. Aroma is nice, chocolatey and a bit roasty. Well-rounded flavor, lightly bitter, finishing pretty dry. Very drinkable, but could do with more body.

(Bottle from Fat Cat, Norwich) Dark brown wih no head initially - although then one developed! Very bizarre. Still small mind. Smell was of roasted malt with vine fruits, grapes and a little salt. Chocolate too. Very appetising. Smooth coffeish taste with some chocolate, alcohol, sea water and wine like fruitiness. Roasted malt gives a good bitter sweet balance. Very drinkable despite 8.5%. The only thing that bothered me was the salty aftertaste that lingered for far too long. That was unpleasant. I got used to that though and besides a nice, rounded stout with some interesting flavours.

bottle, pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Cherry coke and dark fruity aroma. Full bodied, sweet roasted malt, honey and a briney light bitter finish. Carbonation is low. Not a bad stout, but too sweet to me.
