MY THOUGHTS
As somebody who isn’t a big fan of oysters this was an adventurous choice for me even because of the name. But I usually like beers that are a little bit out there, so I figured to give it a go. The proceeds of this beer actually protect chesapeke bay oysters which is pretty cool. This is a limited run beer so get it while its hot. This beer is crazy dark and I poured it pretty heavy and got a nice frothy head. You don’t get an oyster taste from the beer as some people would suggest, in fact, the flavor that stood out for me was coffee. For a dark beer, this one is a grand slam. Check this out while you can.
UPDATE 2/5/19: This beer is now called Chesapeake Stout
