Commercial Description:
Cask; Occasional.
There are two schools of thought when it comes to oyster stouts - some believe that they should be served cold and go well with a plate of oysters. We believe that a proper oyster stout should be made with oysters. We’ve used six different grains, including oats, wheat and roasted barley, and Fuggles hops for that traditional stout character. We’ve then added whole oysters, shells and all, during the last fifteen minutes of the boil. The result is a smooth chocolatey stout that leaves you wanting more.

Cask Handpump from the Foyer Bar at the Assembly Rooms, Derby 10/01/2009 Fruity aroma. Dark coloured smooth and a little rich on the palate with some sour fruit flavour. Crisp slightly bitter and dry oyster roast finish.

Cask-conditioned at The Royal Oak, Bath 14/9/08. Near black in colour with a decent, tight tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, bitter chocolate and a faint hint of the seaside. Full mouth feel, with plenty more roastiness and chocolate, some graininess and a decent bitter finish. Another good dark beer from Arbor.
