Originally named after the @theburkeartscouncil and crafted for their annual oyster outing, we have been brewing this smoked and salted oyster stout for the past four years. Historically one of the first beers intentionally paired with food, oysters help cut the acidity from dark roasty malts and lend a smooth and salty finish.

Flavour is composed of semi sweet, big nutty malts loaf, raisin bran, liquorice, some charred wood. Palate is semi sweet, rounded, mellow carbonation,. Very malty beverage.

Row 34 draught, 5/16/23. Dark. Light tan head quickly to ring. Coffee, chocolate, vanilla, espresso. Lots of roast, lots of licorice. Creamy roast. This is the creamiest, softest, heavily roasted stout I've ever had. Not sure how I feel about this. The texture is insane but wish we had more base malt and less hard bakers chocolate flavor. Still, this is some soft, mineraly shit, roast or no roast.

Tap. Black with a modest but lasting tan head. Roasty aroma with mocha, brine, some liquorice. Full, smooth body. Rich but not all that sweet - a lick of caramel with the mocha. Some iodine. Bitterness nags through. Good, great texture.

Oyster and roast. A little mocha. Good balance, great beer. Litter sweet finish with caramel on the finish. Plenty of oyster saltiness. Black pour with mocha head. Tap at Rustico.

Can split at Enid Street, 27/03/19. Light black with a decent tan covering that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is mellow roast, spice, chocolate, brown sugar, liquorice. Taste comprises chocolate biscuit, dried fruits, cacao nibs, gentle smoke, light salt. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Solid flavoursome stout.

Not surprised Fonta Flora nails the oyster stout; they love the fringe, and, traditional or not, putting oyster shells in your beer ain't for the dull. Lovely chocolate and roasted malt notes layered on top of anise and a firm briny baseline. Finish grows charred and bitter, with the salinity lasting long into the fade. Not sure exactly how many oyster stouts I've tried, but this might be the best yet. Delicious.

Can, thanks to Travlr. Pours opaque dark brown with large foamy tan head, mocha-biscuit aroma, low carbonation, mildly bitter mocha-biscuit taste, thin body, long finish. A bit thin but very tasty.
