Nov 3, 2007 Hate to place a bad review on this, but as i have paid money for this, i have no choice! As Mullet said, the look is where it all ends. Sour infected flavour and has nothing in the flavour that reminds me of a stout.
Dissapointing, but this should never have made it out of quality control. Oyster Stout? More like Rancid Scallop.

May 26, 2007 Pours jet black with a big coffee coloured head. Intense liquorice and medicinal aroma which is difficult for me to describe adequately. Lightly roasted coffee and a mineral salt flavour (must be the oysters). Strong carbonation makes the taste drier than it otherwise would be. Very short and dry, almost non-existant finish. Just taking a look at the other reviews, I must have got one of the good bottles.

Apr 24, 2006 Bottled, found in Lygon Street Melbourne.
Crazy foaming mess of beer, exploding from the bottle. What remained to actually drink had an aniseed and cardboard aroma. Tasted pretty crap and wasn’t worth the mess.

Nov 7, 2005 Sweet fruit aroma with malt. Dark brown colour with creamy head and lacing. Bitter burnt malt flavour. Smooth palate.

Oct 11, 2005 Isn’t it exciting to be the 10th rater so I can create the percentile. What power! First up most stouts look so good in the glass. Deep black with a firm caramel head, and in this case a very rocky one. Perhaps the oysters have caused this to stay frim and robust (?) The nose is disconcrting in that it is a melange of bananas and bubblegum, clearly estery but does the strength of the stout hide a number of mischiefs? There is a slight saltiness which is presumaby imparted by the oysters but a residual sweetness remains. Overall a passable beer but there are too many deep seated deficinecies that may be masking a beer of better potential quality.
