Dark pour. Nice lacing. Beer is a bit sweet. Lots of grain and a little hay. Ok mouth. Taste is full of chocolate malt. This went really well with half a dozen oysters.

22oz bomber from FFF. Opaque brown-black, patchy beige head. Smooth, sweet chocolate coffee aroma. On the fuller side of medium bodied, quite sessionable and delicious. Almost smoky, in a chocolate covered way. Delicate cookie dough tones, subdued coffee. Excellent.

Bomber pours dark brown/black with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, sweet chocolate, and slightly nutty. Taste has a sweet and saltiness that is at first a little puckering, chocolate, salty caramel, sweet plum, and roasted malts. Yum!

Bottle... Poured dark black with a a thick forming, khaki/off-white head. Some roast and a hint of saltiness. Nice body, flavorful. Toasted grains and a hint of hazelnuts. Dark cocoa, coffee, and a smooth, clean finish. Like most oyster stouts that I have had, the oyster isn’t overpowering.

Tap at DLD12. Coffee, chocolate, and light seaweed/ocean aroma. Black color with minimal head. Sweet chocolate malt flavor with a light herbal hops finish. Smooth as silk.

Bottle thanks to bauermj. Deep brown-black pour with huge, rocky tan head. Nose of cocoa, roasted malt, sweet soy sauce, and black olive. Flavor is a dry, acidic roast that is a little gamey on the tailend. Residual acidic roast. Somewhat slick mouthfeel. Pretty sub-par, in my opinion. Oyster components are detracting rather than adding complexity.

Bottle from Maria’s. Pours a deep black with a tannish creamy head. Lightly sweet with a hit of roast. Grassy hops, floral with a hint of cocoa as well. On tasting, there is a noted sweetness with a drying roast quality. Lots of floral hops lend a grassy note. Creamy mouthfeel with a solid malty quality. Pretty solid, if non-descript, stout. Not too shabby.

UPDATED: MAY 25, 2012 Auction winner. Drank with Stegosaurus. I admit, Iwas worried about a beer made with oyster sauce, but this beer was solid. A nice blend of chocolate, roast, earth and nut. A bitter dry roasted flavor. Nice work Floyd’s.

tap on DLD. coffee, milk chocolate, nuts. touch of plum. grainy, chewy body. good attenuation. tasty.

Draft at DLD ’12. Pours a deep, dark, mostly opaque brown color with a small, lasting beige head. Very smooth and roasty throughout- dry grains, nuts, toast, dark chocolate, and a little bit of saltiness. Light-medium bodied, smooth, roasty, and dry. Moderate carbonation. Well done oyster stout.
