From the brewer
Originally formulated and brewed in late 2009 with Jason McAdam of Burnside Brewing, this traditional British-style stout uses both oyster liquor and whole oysters from Hama Hama Oyster Company in Washington, giving the full bodied and roasty beer a lightly savory character with a distinct mineral laden finish.

Inky-thick stout with a roast malt flavor. Unlike other oyster stouts, there isn't a clear saline aspect or any kind of tongue-coating umami flavor -- at least not that I could detect. Instead, there was a hint of something around the edges giving a sense of depth. I think that gave it a sense of Imperial strength, despite it being only 6%. Quite good.
