Bottle. Black with a modest tan head. Aroma of bread, licorice, a little of the sea. Very smooth despite carbonation that's only slightly subdued. Rich and full bodied but not very sweet with coffee and mildly spiced bitterness. A little minerally at the end too. Bitterness is nit high but is insistent. The main way the oysters show is in a mind-clearing zinc hit. Very satisfying with a fine finish.
