A true oyster stout; 300 oysters were painstakingly shucked and added to the boil. Inky black in colour, with a deeply complex and satisfying body, finishing with just a hint of a taste of the sea. This beer is only brewed occasionally and when we get sufficient volunteers to help with the shucking.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark brown with a thin broken off white head. The aroma is big roasted malt, light caramel malt. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light smoky malt bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

330ml botlle bought in January 2013 at The House of Trembling Madness Shop in York. Oily pour. Shiny naked surface. Deep, all-black body. No lacing. Dark malty nose. Malty base added by salt and sweet liquorice. A bland twist of malt bitterness to the ending. Rather flat in the mouth. Medium bodied. Alright, had expected more though (shared with Finn, Tromsø 05.03.2014).

Flaske 0,33 l. Spandert av Rune og delt under seanse i WCveien 5 Mar 14. Svart. 0 skum. Aroma av mørk frukt & litt sjokolade. Smaken forsiktig røstet maltmed innslag av tung frukt. Myk munnfølelse. Blir litt anonym.

Bottle from ’Jacks’ Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, consumed at home Monday 30th December 2013 Pours black with a few bubbles skitting across the top. Smooth and very easy drinking, a little roasty with some coffee. I don’t get any ’hint of the sea’ it’s just a nice stout. Tasty. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8
