Commercial Description:
A dark, full-bodied beer. Strong in nature, dry in character. Topped with a traditional rich, creamy head, our Oyster Stout is top-fermented, making it an ale. It has a roasted malt aroma and achieves its black color and roasted flavor from roasted barley. Oyster stouts were produced by a few breweries in Great Britain for their local oyster festivals, and was higher in alcohol than the "everyday drinking" stout they normally produced. No oysters were harmed in the making of this stout.

I had this a while back on tap but i wanted to comment on having good stout with not much of a sweet flavor, this beer is full of coffee and chocolate flavors. good but not great, a little balance is needed.

Being a Delaware boy, I really WANTED to like this...but alas. Curiously devoid of taste. No sweetness in this at all...really rather bitter. Hardly any even roasted malty taste. It looked pretty, but I prefer to drink my beer rather than just gaze at it longingly

Draft. Opaque black with small brown head. Mostly roasted malt on the nose, with some metallic and peppery hops. Roasted malt, smoked chocolate and tingly hops at the end. Medium palate is pretty drinkable.

Draft, Ram’s Head Rehoboth. Pours a dark black center with wide brown edges; light tan head with minimal retention. Coffee and roasted malts in the aroma. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: well-roasted coffee and malts with a creamy vanilla character; nicely balanced, with a hint of bitterness poking through; tasty and drinkable. Lengthy, dry coffee and vanilla finish.

Sampled at Newtown Brewfest pours dark with a light tan head. Aroma of roast, chocolate, and coffee. The flavor is roast, chocolate, small hoppy presence. Decent brew.
