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.

DuffMan (5247) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - APR 3, 2009
Bottle. An impressive pour: oily and very dark, with a dense brown head. Incredibly roasty aroma, chocolate, beef broth, something vaguely fruity, and a hint of earthy/leafiness that was a bit hash-like. Heavy dense mouthfeel. Loads of flavour (they didn’t scrimp on the malts here!), burnt malts, figgy fruit, marmite, with a briny bitter end. Absolutely excellent.

Poured a good size dark tan head on a black body. Aroma is burnt notes, coffee and a little bit of dark fruit. Nice roasted bitterness in the taste, a little salt, medium full body.
