Oyster Stout from Fordham Brewing Company
Rating: B+
Served at the Rams Head in Historic Savage Mill.
Appearance: Very dark garnet, with a nice one-finger head with decent retention and good lacing.
Smell: Roasted malts, but subtle nose all the way around.
Taste: much more hoppy/bitter than I expected, which almost made up for the scarcity of chocolate/coffee flavors. More hop character than I'm accustomed to see in a stout, the bitterness here comes from hops, not burnt grain.
Mouthfeel: lighter than I prefer in a stout, but it helps drinkability
Drinkability: not bad, light enough to session.
Serving type: on-tap
