This brew poured a small head of fine bubbles. Its body is a dark brown but not black color. It has a pleasant malty aroma. It starts out tasting flat and is very smooth initially then finishes with a slight bitterness with a mild coffee flavor. It was a very nice draft and was very smooth. I rather liked this beer.

Oct 22, 2003 Ft Wayne '03 Pub #2. Salty--not that I mind. Rosted aroma, syrup taste. A little thin, warming may be key.

Oct 20, 2003 On tap at the pub. Faint mahogany red when held up to the light with an oil slick for a head. Anise in the nose. Faint coffee bitterness with anise and molasses in the finish. A little thin with an oddly salty sensation while drinking it.

Oct 19, 2003 The word in Fort Wayne was that the Oyster Bar brewed a pretty nice stout. I concur. Oyster Stout had a nice chestnut-brown body, mostly opaque, with a very slight off-white head that largely dissipated after the pour. I had a hard time detecting much of an aroma. Perhaps the beer was too cold, but I did sense some molasses and some roast. Luckily the flavor was rich and luxurious, with strong roasted chocolate and an almost salty aftertaste that beckoned for another sip. Some dry fruit as well, although I couldn't pick out its exact nature. Medium bodied, full-flavored, and saucy. Solid.

Oct 19, 2003 Reddish/brown hue with an oily film on top, good tears. The aroma hinted of moderate malty notes (burnt/smoky, molasses, coffee), floral hops, raisin, cherry, ruby port, licorice, and vanilla. Full flavored stout with a smooth malt and twangy sharp bitter aspect. A touch salty and fruity as well. Long dry tart finish. Oily and lush mouthfeel. Very nice stout. The twang keeps the palate from becoming overwhelmed by the oily malty character. Recommended.

Apr 6, 2003 I sampled this stout and found that it had a mild coffee taste to it that I liked because it did not have an overwhelming coffee taste which is much to my dislike. It was smooth and I would definitely have more than just a sample of this stout the next time.
