Flying Dog Brewery Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout

Posted May 16, 2012 by Greg Barbera

Flying Dog Brewery‘s Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout pours midnight black with a inch thick head that quickly dissipates. Big roasted malt notes. A silky smooth mouthfeel; wee bit more carbonated than your average stout. A bitter yet dry, cigar ash-accentuated finish. As for the Rappahannock River oysters? If you are put off by the bivalve you may find little evidence of it in the beer but if you are a shellfish connoisseur you’ll surely detect the delicate smoky, creamy aftertaste of oysters.

    Squatting Dog Brewery‘s Liquid Stool Stout shoots out midnight black with a slight, foamy head that lingers on the palate. It carries unforgettable notes of C. difficile. A slightly gritty mouthfeel; wee bit more involuntary than your average stout. A harsh, stingy finish, with notes of Sriracha sauce. If you are put off by occasional corn niblets, you may find little evidence of it in the beer, but if you are a maize connoisseur, you’ll surely detect the tender aftertaste of a Guatemalan, stone ground tortilla.
