Very dark brown coloured body with a very large, deep and rich brown head that fades very quickly and leaves just about nothing on top, even after just a few seconds. Aroma of rich deep roasted malts with molasses, coconut, caramelised sugars with some anise and spicey notes with a hint of brine and rich notes from the oysters. Medium to Full-bodied; Super strong rich roasted, toasted and pungent oatmeal and malts come through with some anise and licorice elements, along with some lactose and bitterness, but the malts, sugars, molasses and deeply pitted fruits are the most noticeable here, along with some brine and pure oyster notes in a great way. Aftertaste shows the pungency and richness of both the malts, the spices and especially the oyster and briney notes with the beer being thick, chewy, pungent and strong, despite it only clocking in at 5,3 per cent! Overall, a very nice oyster stout with a great richness, a lot of roast, lactose and sugars with a good level of sweetness on the end, but much more pungency and astringency here. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Ye Old Spirit Shop in Frederick, Maryland on 29-November-2020 for US$2,24 after cutting down our family Christmas Tree for the year, sampled at my house here in Washington on 25-February-2021 on perhaps one of the last slightly chilly days of the year.

12oz can. Opaque brown-black body. No real head. A little undercarbonated. Pleasant malt tones. Chocolate, caramel, toffee. Overall it lacks much finesse. Nonetheless, a pretty drinkable, classic, approachable Stout. OK.

16oz can. Canned on 10/26. So it's super fresh. I mean it's ridiculous bottom of jet pale trub. Good head retention. The problem is it has astringent pulverized hop dust. Cover up what could be a nice hazy IPA. It's nice at first but then really kicks you in the balls.

12oz can, poured into a glass. Poured a mostly clear orange color with a small white head. Aroma was really juicy blood oranges, some bitter orange rind in this one. Juicy, light bitterness. Pretty tasty.
