Flaggy Shore

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown to near-black in the glass, with a dense tan head that clings to the rim with good retention. The body shows minimal light penetration, characteristic of the style, while a tight collar of foam frames the surface with lasting definition.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with roasted grain and cocoa undertones from the oatmeal base, followed by a distinctive briny, mineral edge contributed by the oyster addition. Subtle notes of dark chocolate and a faint earthiness round out the composition without hop aromatics dominating.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and velvety across the palate, with the oatmeal providing a soft, creamy foundation. Mid-palate reveals an umami-rich salty character from the oyster integration, balanced against moderate bitterness and notes of dark malt sweetness that prevent the beer from becoming austere.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry yet lingering, with the savoury oyster character persisting on the palate. A subtle mineral dryness and faint roast tannins leave a contemplative aftertaste.
