Slightly salty but otherwise I couldn't detect the presence of oysters. The bottlecap is a bit different. I would drink again, but I do wish it had a higher alcohol content.

Tap. An interesting stout. Pours dark black with a strong, tan head. Good nose of roasted malts, light chocolate. Flavor is standard stout up until the finish, at which point there is a detectable uniqueness - the oyster, presumably. A slightly salty, briney quality. It doesn’t necessarily make the beer any better, but it does set it apart from the pack. Medium bodied and pretty smooth.
