| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 20, 2009 Bought at the bierkoning in Amsterdam 33CLbottle.
Bottle, pours black with a thin light tan head. Cocoa, dark malt, and a slight sourness. Dark malt, a smokeyness, and a lightly sour/salty finish, maybe a little briney. Carbonation is low with a silky mouthfeel. I think the oysters are more pronounced in this that other oyster stouts I’ve had and it’s nice.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 11, 2009 Little yellow rim, good imitation of B.C."H.", over black beer with some orange highlights. Pungent smell of goat cheese. If there’s oysters in here, those unfortunate mollusks must hail from the infamous Ordralfabétix shop, I’m sure. Roasted malts... really not inviting. After some serious venting, roasted-sweet flavour, turning to bitter, partly roasted, partly hoppy. Faint coffee flavour, finish again slightly sweeter, but again some cheesy upsurges. Pretty demure. Creamy, near velvety MF, if well-carbonated, despite the lack of visual proof hereof. The nose really was unappetizing. Rest is way better, if certainly not great.
