Bottle at Drayton Harbor Oyster Company, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out considerably oyster quality and medium roast. Flavour is along the same lines, with oyster brine upfront, followed by light roast. Gentle carbonation, with a briny finish. A well-made, but unexciting, oyster stout. Very nice.

Bottle at Drayton Harbor Oyster Company, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out farmhouse yeast upfront, some earthiness, and some herbal notes of some sort. Flavour is quite complex and true to style, with lovely rustic farmhouse yeast, some slight earthiness, a lovely spiciness and a bready, yeasty finish. Unusual to find an authentic saison like this up this way. Really nicely done.

Bottle at Drayton Harbor Oyster Company, pours a dark copper with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out notes of copper, dry toffee and bready notes. Flavour is mellow, with bready notes, toffee and some metallic qualities. Low carbonation, clean and easy to drink, but not overly pleasing. Solid.
