Black with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of heavily roasted malts. Quite chocolatey in the finish. It misses the Brett funk that I had expected.

All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma color nocciola dalla buona tenuta e persistenza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido è di aspetto impenetrabile e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è fine. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente rossiccio. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma è quello di caramello, miele, nocciole tostate, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso quasi balsamico e agrumi. --- Beer merged from original tick of Brainblásta on 19 Feb 2025 at 06:23 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5.

A reddish brown beer, a head is quite small and blond. Aroma has strong caramel, some wood and fruitness. Taste is quite sweet and caramel, then also bitterness and saltyness (as like in the Oyster Stout). Almost medium bodied. Decent.

330ml bottle (4.6% ABV) from Otdokhni in Moscow. Just over a year has passed since the bottling date. Pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is roasted malt and coffee. Taste is light sweet, roasted malt, salt/brine, earthy. I think this is the first Oyster Stout I’ve tried is actually made using oysters. Good, but I don’t think is bottle is in proper condition.
