There are two schools of thought when it comes to oyster stouts - some believe that they should be served cold and go well with a plate of oysters. We believe that a proper oyster stout should be made with oysters. We’ve used six different grains, including oats, wheat and roasted barley, and Fuggles hops for that traditional stout character. We’ve then added whole oysters, shells and all, during the last fifteen minutes of the boil. The result is a smooth chocolatey stout that leaves you wanting more.

Cask at the Craft Beer Co. It pours jet black, with a thin, light tan head. The nose is soy sauce, salted liquorice, seaweed, smoke, toffee, treacle and varnish. The taste is salted liquorice, roasted malt, treacle, tar, pepper, caramel, molasses, smoke and varnish, with a long roasty finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. A very flavoursome brew for the percentage. Nice.
