Harpoon 100 Barrel Series Island Creek Oyster Stout


















































Harpoon Brewery
100 Barrel Series Island Creek Oyster Stout
Boston, Mass.
3/10/2010, on tap at Frisco Grille, 5.5 abv

Smell

Some typical stout aromas, like chocolate and coffee, but also some seawater smells, but not pleasant like Kramer's "The Beach" cologne.

Appearance

Black with a thin head.

Taste

I found this one to be thin, flat, watery, a bit salty and somewhat metallic. Thankfully, it did not taste like oysters, but there was something weird about it.

Comments

I like stouts, but this is my least favorite stout to date. It had a weird taste that became even weirder when I learned it was made with actual oysters. Of all the good things on the planet to make a beer from, oysters aren't one of them.
