Draft, small pour in 5 Vines wine bar, San Juan Capistrano on 30th August 2025. Almost black bodied, beige topping. Nice, easy going Stout, no Oysters were harmed in brewing this, not to produce my glass anyway. I did however really enjoy it.

Small glass (draft) in the 5 Vines wine bar in San Juan Capistrano on 30th August 2025. Almost clear golden body, soft white head. Mosaic hop nose and taste, didn't pick up any Sabro at all. So loads of citrus fruit aromas and flavours, earthy and piney notes too, no coconut though!

Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 34C: 20B with whole oysters). Can 47.3 cl - Batch 2996A (BB unreadable). AROMA: medium roasted malt with chocolate notes. APPEARANCE: very dark brown color and opaque. medium light brown head, with medium-low to low retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with medium roasted malt (dark chocolate, slight coffee). medium bitterness with a dry and salty finish. MOUTHFEEL: medium-low body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: an american stout made with oysters which doesn't reflect much in the flavor apart from a salty sensation in the aftertaste. still, its easy to drink.
