This stout is simply not suitable for vegetarians. It contains oysters. Now, you won’t find one at the bottom of the glass, but you may get a touch of sweet minerality in the flavour that comes from the freshly shucked lads that get put in during brewing. Not a bad way to go, even for a bivalve.Delicate and toasty, it also has slightly bitter, fragrant twist, thanks to East Kent Goldings.

Pours opaque black with about one finger of greyish head; not too big despite quite hard pour, recedes quite quickly and leaves no lacing. Not much intensity in the aroma. A light base of roasted malts overcome by a soft milk stout like feel, a hint of chocolate, perhaps a hint of saltiness. Taste is quite weak as well and not much is going on: soft dark malts (very light roastiness, light chocolate), very reminiscent of milk stout, plus a light background of saltiness. Medium to high sweetness, quite low bitterness, definitely on the sweet side for the style, but not excessively. Quite light bodied with average or slightly below average carbonation, resulting in a rather soft, smooth mouthfeel, which is probably where the beer gives it's best. Overall not unpleasant, but very flat.

Color marrón oscuro, no llega a ser negra. Espuma blanca y jabonosa de buena retención.
Aromas a malta tostada, algo de especias y una nota final a mar.
El sabor en la misma línea, un punto torrefacto que aporta un ligero amargor, con una nota final salada (a marisco de concha).
Cuerpo medio/bajo y poca carbonatación, en boca pierde algo de punch.
Cerveza interesante y diferente, pero muy ligera.

Keg at the Worm Has Turned Derby. I think this was served too cold. But plenty of roasted malt and coffee bitterness and a hint a mineral. Smooth body.

Dark brown and translucent with a rocky beige head. Light aroma, some chocolate with some charcoal. Sweet taste with more chocolate and a fleeting suggestion of liquorice. Heavy carbonation rushes through the balanced finish. Yum, quite happy with this.

On tap at Craft Beer Oasis, Crewe. Pours a very dark reddish brown with a “guinness look-alike” cream head. Aroma is just vague roasted malts. Initial impressions in the mouth are of the bitterness but gradually liquorice, roast malts, caramel and vanilla come through. Texture is smooth and creamy. Quite a nice beer but seemed to lack a certain sparkle.
