SEDUCTIVELY SMOOTH
Our brewers have poured their hearts and roasted malts into this rich, slightly sweet stout. Luscious notes of coffee and chocolate accent the smooth, creamy mouth feel. We will not apologize for any amorous affairs resulting from the consumption of this beverage

$1.50 for a 12-oz single. Black with a 2" brown head. Smells of burnt toast, crisp malts... nice. Flavor starts roasty, middle is oddly too sweet, and it finishes buttery and funky sweet. Would be much better without that nearly sickeningly sweet middle.

Deep opaque brown body, thin/medium light tan head. Deep roasted malt aroma with cocoa and toast; quite rich. Chocolatey body with plenty of roasted malts and a touch of coffee, very porter-like. Medium-bodied, smooth, and quaffable. The roast is a bit richer than in many other stouts; otherwise, this is not too unique, but is quite tasty nonetheless.

Very dark brown. Creamy roast aroma - quite nutty, with light toast. Body borders on being too thin, which combined with overprickly carbonation and lack of head makes me wonder if the bottle conditioning was such a good idea. Roast barley acidity starts off, leading to a bitter middle - more toast than nut. Finish is quite dry, a little butter note and the everpresent nuts. Lingering roast but still seems thin.

Thanks to urbnhautebourg for providing this beer. I tried it after Victory Storm King, and while not on the same level it was still a decent brew. Pours a deep dark brown with a medium dark beige head. Earthy coffee/chocolate aroma. Not sure what oysters brought to the table but I am always for something different. Had a bottle-conditioned texture, with coffee, chocolate and prunes (?) in the flavor. Rather sharp finish. Not too bad.

Not what I expected. Not sure what flavor elements the oysters add, but this is nicely sweet, strong and full flavored and exceptionally smooth going down.
