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.
Even better the second time. The fragrance is stronger, slightly fruity, but totally in harmony with the cereal body and pilsner bitterness that follows. A keeper -- I wish they bottled this!
I really liked this a lot; it had the amped-up pilsner flavor of, say, a Pravda Pils but also a rounded mellowness that made it seem more like a balanced beer. Very, very nice.
