Geen gewone stout, maar een dikke, royale double mash stout van 10.5%, met veel toetsen van espresso en donker gebrande karamel. Op de achtergrond waarneem je een lichte ziltigheid afkomstig van de zelf geplukte Zuid-Hollandse oesterschelpen waarover het bier werd gefilterd!

Cremiger, moderat röstiger Beginn. Leichte Süße, Vanille, Schokolade. Herb-malziger Mittelteil, spritzig, wenig Lakritz. Nett, könnte komplexer sein. 9/11/9/10//10

Can. Color: Black, light brown head. Aroma: Dark roasted caramel, dark chocolate. Taste: Very smooth, just over medium body. Dark roasted malt, floral hop notes, notes of chocolate and some coffee. Over moderate to medium sweet and bitter. Salty oysters? Some salty hints, mostly at the finish. That's all. But overall this is a nice one again from Dok Brewing.

The legendary oyster stout, probably more myth than truth, is one style particularity Dok had not tackled yet - until now, and rightly done by filtering the beer over actual oyster shells. Draught at their Welkom café. Medium thick, pale greyish beige, moussey, opening head on a jet black robe. Aroma of espresso powder, cold black coffee, burnt toast, black chocolate, soy sauce, roasted walnuts, charcoal, salmiak, black pepper, brown bread, dry caramel, whisky - but hardly any of the saltiness one would expect from the premise (justly so - if the shells are used as a filter bed, then they should not interfere with the flavour to begin with. Sweetish, rounded onset, dried fig, blackberry, raisin but less sugary, softly carbonated with a very full, oily body; a soy sauce note shows up early, but not in a very thoroughly umami-like way and not too emphatically salty either. Deep toasted brown-bready malts with caramelly edge, quickly shifting to full-blown roasted chicory bitterness, black coffee- and blackened toast-like, with a black pepper-like hoppiness for good measure, all tied together by whisky-like, warming alcohol which remains well in place. The soy sauce note continues, but does not dominate, while all the other flavours too remain in good balance. Potent, deliciously old school roasty imperial stout, basically - and to me one of the best brewed by Dok in quite a while.

Can from Hopduvel.
A: hazy black, small, beige head.
A: espresso, toasted brown bread, chestnut, fondant, cigarette ash.
T: restrainedly sweetish brambleberry, bitter coffee & fondant, bit nutty, metallic.
F: bitter earthy hops, intense roastiness, warming whisky-like alcohol.
P: full body, oily texture, soft carbonation.
Saltiness was a bit lost on me apart from that metallic note. Overall, very enjoyable as a good, old bitter Stout!

15/IV/25 - 33cl can from DOK Brewing (Gent), shared @ holiday in France, BB: 15/IV/28, batch DOK249 (2025-360)
Clear dark brown to black beer, small creamy beige head, a little stable, somewhat adhesive. Aroma: lots of chocolate, malty, deep rich roast, some caramel, cookie dough, a hint of vanilla or tonka. MF: k carbon, medium to full body. Taste: nice, a rich roast, pretty bitter, lots and lots of dark chocolate, hoppy touch, more roast, a hint of caramel, spicy notes, some cinnamon, nice! Aftertaste: gentle acidity, quite some alcohol, bitter roast, somewhat dry, lots of dark chocolate, more alcohol, caramel, nice thick stout, not getting any oysters though, or even some salt?
