COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Doctors once prescribed stout as a revitalising tonic, while brewers enhanced their potency with additional ingredients, like oysters, which had desirable properties of their own. The Three Boys Oyster Stout contains select malt and hops to produce a beer that is rich and complex. And, who knows, our addition of genuine Bluff oysters to this very special brew might be just what the doctor ordered.

500 ml bottle. Aroma has burnt coffee/caramel roasted malt also burnt nut like over roasted chestnuts. Pours black with tan head that doesn’t last long. Initial taste is heavy, full and complex. Hard to distinguish and pick flavours. Is acidic and settles around the whole mouth.

Best Stout in New Zealand! Rich and dark with lots of malt flavour. Beautifully balanced bitternes/sweetness with just a hint of saltyness from the Oysters.

maneliquor (1005) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - AUG 4, 2011
Tap at Tap Haus. Pours dark brown with a small, firm beige head. Sweet roasted malts with slight cocoa. You can tell the oysters are there. Light milk chocolate and lingering roasted and chocolate malts. A sweetness comes through from the oysters with a slight bitterness of coffee. Nice one

Nose: roast, choc, almost islay peaty iodine, smoke. Taste creamy coffee, chocolate notes, great seaweed smokey islay taste, does trigger oyster sensation! Quite an amazing experience. Nice brisk roast/hop bitterness in the end.

One of my favourites, and this year’s batch is just as good. Dry, roasty, almost savoury. Black as night with a lovely tan head. On handpump at Hashigo Zake and as close to perfection as I can imagine. Awesomely quaffable.

Heavy Malt. Burt Coffee, Molasses, Toffee, Chocolate. Flowers, Perfume, Pine. Brine. I enjoyed less oyster taste this batch. Oil/Cream texture. Bitter finish. This is a Kiwi classic.

bmeup (394) - Ormeau, AUSTRALIA - JAN 7, 2011
Good looking pour that’s black with dark amber edges. Mild aroams of toffee, sweet raisins and vanilla. Smooth and similar to taste, very easy in the mouth and a little taste of the sea. Pleasant hops in the finish of this very nice stout.
