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.

Keg at Hammerton brewery, RBESG ’14 day 3, 09/08/14. Black with a decent sized tan head that retains well. Nose is roast malt in abundance, earthy cocoa, treacle toffee, light sea salt licks. Taste comprises earthy roast, dark malt, light soy sauce, cocoa rub, dark toffee, mineral notes. Medium bodied, spritzy carbs - a little overcooked, semi drying close. Ok stout.

On tap at the brewery RBESG14. Black beer lasting tan head. Some roast flavours some chocolate some coffee. Pretty smooth. Ok. Fine. 3.2 re rate its a rich oyster stout which I rather like this style of stout. Love the thick juicy nature of it and the richness of the flavour. Good. Some spicy dryness on the palate

Keg at the Three Johns - London . Pours black-brown with a soft, creamy beige head. Served obnoxiously cold. Good aroma, some nice charred malts, dark chocolate, ash. Light sweet flavor with burnt earth bitterness, edgy hard water, charcoal, bittersweet cocoa, hints of dried cherries. Light to medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Moderately dry on the finish with lingering roasted malt character, some chalky cocoa, ash, baking cocoa. Pretty well balanced overall. Good beer.
