Just as Maine’s pristine fresh waters make for great beer, Maine’s salt waters make for some of the very best oysters. With thousands of miles of coastline and proud seafood heritage, Maine is at the fore of oyster farming: a sustainable, restorative way of producing delicious food with an unparalleled taste of place. For this stout, we partnered with Love Point Oysters—one of the more than 150 farms in Maine that stand as sentinel stewards of our environment.
Initial aromas of dark chocolate and brown sugar, followed by notes of coffee, toast, and tobacco. Finishes with aromas of fig and moss.

Draught @ Top Hops Essex Market, Manhattan (Sept 2024). Opaque inky black with a very small frothy dark beige head, sweet mocha aroma, high carbonation, bitter mocha taste with faint oyster flavor, thin body, long bitter finish. A nice brew!

Restrained and elegant. Offers notes of chocolate, coffee and roast backed up by an espresso-like bitterness and a briny undertone. Very tasty.

Bottled May 10, 2024, drunk July 21, 2024. Clear, dark. Darker beige head, full, well-retained. Roasty, toasty, lightly charred nose with above-average base malt character for its size. Creates a good chocolatey character with a clean, mineral-rich finish. Dry, chocolatey, with graham cracker and chocolate wafer suggestions. Lighter-bodied, though not too much so for its light size. Not over-roasted, though still plenty roasty. Pretty standard dry stout, though the flavors are true and there's a lovely minerality on the finish.
