Commercial Description:
For its third stop on our multi-year trip to explore the state of New Jersey through its beer and culture, Flying Fish journeys to Exit 1 for Bayshore Oyster Stout. Oysters have had a long association with stout in the United Kingdom. This tradition was gradually lost to the rise of pale ales and overharvesting of the oysters. Exit 1 celebrates this tasty combination and New Jersey’s history as one-time oyster supplier to the nation. Our version is an "export style" stout brewed with oysters. The creamy chocolate flavor harmonizes with the minerals from the oyster shells (there’s no actual "oyster" taste). An Irish ale yeast contributes a bit of fruitiness and a dry crispness. This richer, fuller stout is perfect for cold weather and to share with friends over great food. Not to mention with a few oysters on the half shell.

Tap at CAH. Pours a deep black with a medium bubbly deep tan head that left some lacing. Aroma of rich roasted malt, chocolate, nuts, caramel and light coffee notes. Flavor is also very roasty with caramel, nuts, very smooth and robust chocloate and coffee notes.

Bottle from Chevy Chase in DC. Pours black with a tan head. Head has reddish hues to it. Aroma is like a typical well-brewed stout - roast, coffee, cocoa, and just a faint hint of oysters. Flavor is roasted malt, coffee, bitter cocoa, a little smoke, and no detectable oyster. Dry on the finish with medium body and some linering roasty bitterness. Good stuff.

Bottle shared by robert at SL.. Pours a black color, with a thin head. Decent aroma of roasted malts and some chocolate... Taste is close to the nose, nice roasted malts and chocolate. I was expecting a nasty taste of oysters with brackish water...LOL... Overall a nice little stout that is worth trying.

Lifeless looking pour with no head and no carbonation to speak of. Interesting smoked jerky meat aroma with some minerals, ash and sweet malts. Color is a very dark brown. Moderate flavor and palate. I realize that this is a foreign stout but it is still a bit on the watery side. Very sleek in the mouth with lots more smokey flavors, terriaki, carbon and a bit of dry dark cherry cordial that lingers for a bit. More lingering smokyess and a bit of salt. An ok brew. Glad that ther are no real oysters used in the production of his brew. That would be NASTY!!!

On tap at Firewaters in the Tropicana Marketplace (Atlantic City). Rich brownish-black pour under a short but creamy medium beige head. Strong aroma of coffee and chocolate. Aromas follow through to the flavors and work very well together with additional notes of vanilla, toffee and a touch of dark fruit. Very creamy and silky texture with a long, mildly smoky finish. I’m hardly a homer and I’ve never been a huge fan of Flying Fish but this brew is extremely impressive.

Draft. Pours a dark brune body with a tan coffee rich head. Loads of coffee notes, espresso, coco, and a lighter chocolate note. Roasted malt, with a full body and a mild warming. Nice brew.
