Poured from the tap. Dark brown with off-white head. Little bit of roasted malt with a bit of sourness. Very subtle sea flavour from the oysters. Flavour dissipates quickly. Light body. Flavours don’t really mesh well.

22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy reddish chestnut brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted nuts, Belgian yeast and candied sugar. Flavour is quite well-balanced and interesting, with candied sugar, Belgian sugar, dark fruits and bready malt. Quite full-bodied, not too sweet and fairly complex. I didn't have this fresh, but at 1 year of age, this has turned out pretty good (especially for Spinnakers). Good stuff.

Deep copper coloured body with a thinnish off-white head, showing a bit of a hazy note. Aroma of light hops and grain with a touch of caster sugar and toffee, but not much else going on here. Medium-bodied; Strong caramel and toffee flavours at first with a good deal of alcohol and pit fruits and not much other complexities, but the malt hits hard. Aftertaste finally shows the smallest amount of hops with hardly any bitterness and a smooth sweetness at the tail end - this isn’t an IPA is it? Overall, poor for the style for sure, and only slightly better than a typical APA or Amber Ale - this isn’t good and I’m glad I drank it here and didn’t bring it back East. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Crosstown Liquor Store in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on 07-June-2015 for CA$7,00 sampled in my hotel room a day later on 08-June-2015 and glad I didn’t schlep it across Canada and the USA to drink back in DC.

Dark brown. Thin head. The aroma has a lot of chocolate. The palate is sweet, syrupy-thick, with a slightly salty oyster note. That chocolate syrup character isn’t my favourite, and I guess I’d like the oysters to play a more prominent role, since this is an otherwise fairly one-dimensional strong stout.
