Dan shucks open a rare oyster stout with Union Street Brewing Company’s Oysters In My Pocket, a collaboration with Montauk Catch Club.

STYLE: Oyster Stout
ABV: 5.3%
IBU: N/A
AVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)
COLLABORATION: Montauk Catch Club

Stats above taken from the can/website/Untappd.

Super dark brown burgeoning on black, with a tan, fluffy head and some legs on the glass.

Caramel hits first with some dark roast coffee coming after.

Caramel, high concentration cacao, and finishing with that dark roast coffee and saline-like minerality.

Drier than expected, super smooth with soft carbonation and mouthfeel, and a medium body.

Oyster stouts are about as rare as they come, style-wise…glad I could get this one. Pairing-wise, cream-based desserts for contrast, though pecan pie also came to mind; oysters are a clear savory play, though chicken or lighter meat dishes like beef stew with not too high a spice element

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

All music on this show came to us from the now defunct Music Alley.
