In 1938 the brewery was famous for being the first in the world to use Oysters as part of the brewing process. In this new recipe we’ve used a variety of flavoursome malts, including a good dose of oats. Fresh wild Maldon oysters are then added to the boil to add a subtle extra complexity to the taste of this stout. CAMRA Champion Beer of London ‘Stout’ winner & ‘Overall’ runner-up.

Pours a dark brown black colour with a light tan head. Roasted malt and coffee aroma with a subtle metalic tang. Smooth and creamy in the mouth, roasted malt, coffee and bitter chocolate flavours and a dryness in a smooth bitter finish

Cask @ Tap east, London. Dark brown, almost black body with a small beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, toast and cholate. Very smooth in flavor, dark, medium roasted malt, chocolate, toast and coffee. Fine body and smooth aftertaste. Nice and easy stout.

Keg at Waterloo Tap, 09/12/16. Chocolate aroma, if on the weak side. Pitch black. Good, if not spectacular, beige head. Medium bitter, with a sour edge. Cream, through to a dark chocolate/coffee finish. Subtle. Creamy, velvet mouthfeel. A hint of dryness in the finish. Slips down. Really enjoyed this one.

Bottled 330ml (can’t remember if this is from AbM or brought from London, BB 12/2016)
Opaque brown color, good brownish head. Aroma is toasted and ashy. Light to medium-bodied. Toasted maltyness, dark coffee, bitterness in the finish. Clean roasty, traditional porter. I’ve never found any oyster taste from oyster stouts, same here.

Cask-conditioned on gravity, at Weymouth Octoberfest. Near black in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Enjoyable stout, with some coffee notes, porridge oat creaminess, vanilla and dark chocolate, before a dryish finish. Excellent.

Bottle at the East Town bottle shop and tap room, Ipswich. Pours almost black with a big frothy beige head. Aroma of milk chocolate, light roasting and nuttiness. Medium sweetness, medium roasted bitterness. Towards full bodied, smooth texture, carbonation soft on palate contrasting the lively pour.
