Service Brewing Company Lincoln's Gift Oyster Stout
What the brewers say
“Brewed with locally harvested May River oysters.”
What our panel thought
“In the aroma, light smoky background, medium malt sweetness, chocolate, coffee, medium pomme fruit esters. Flavor is lightly roasted malt with layers of caramel, dark fruits, light coffee, chocolate. Light-bodied, crisp texture. Perhaps a hint of salty brine in the finish.”
What our editors thought
“Woody dark-malt aroma notes feel more like charred fencepost than roast malt. Zippy in the sip, with a light caramel energy balanced by a touch of herbal hops and an unusual sweet mineral note.”
