Whitstable Oyster Stout

Cask at GBBF 09 ... deep black ... chocolate malt nose ... sweet roasty malts ... little toffee ... little dry

Cask at Hotel Continental, Whitstable. Black pour with a small beige head. Coffee, malty aroma. Roasty, coffee, malty, rich fruity taste. Not bad.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Opaque black color, small beige head. Strong licorice aroma, some coffee. Flavor is lighter than aroma. It has dark coffee, some milk chocolate and other toasted flavors. Very good flavor but overall too light. Maybe ok with oysters.

Black with a small but lasting light brown head. Roasted malt aroma with licorice. Medium sweet roasted flavour, licorice with a touch of charcoal

Cask conditioned at The Kent Beer Fest, Canterbury. Black with cream head. Rich chocolatey flavours with a darkly roasted body, plenty of fruity notes, with coffee and a salty background. Really very good.

Deep pitch black coloured body with a muddy brown head and a nice lacing that leaves the side of the glass beautiful. Aroma of mild roasted malt, raisins, toffee, oak and a bit of vanilla. Medium-bodied; Strong roasty flavour with some light sweetness and a decent amount of bitterness soon behind. Aftertaste shows very subtle flavours mainly consisting of roasted malt, tobacco and some molasses. Overall, a nice and very subtle beer - perfect for a warmer day! I sampled this 330 mL bottle purchased from the Utobeer Market Stall in Borough (London), England on 13-December-2008, sampled on the Eastern Shore of Virginia (the other side of the pond) on 02-May-2009.

this gets the big 10/10 for aroma, it’s great, MJ says tar but i don’t agree otherwise i would have been licking the roof of our family shed! surprisingly light body went well with the movie i was watching....possibly the worst James Bond movie ever...A view to a kill....very light stuff!
