Tonight's beer: Flying Dog Pearl Necklace
Dark chocolate and coffee, on dark bread, with toast and caramel alongside. Threads of dark fruits: dried, candied, maybe burnt; cherries and plums and maybe figs. Earthy-grassy bitterness emerges around the middle, lasts through the end; traces of peat and smoke and ash emerge around the finish. Bittersweet throughout, evolves from darkly sweet to quite dry.
Quite light-bodied, briskly carbonated. Drying and refreshing, but some bready chewiness and stickiness around the finish. Vague hints of flinty prickle.
Very nice, as a lightish-bodied non-imperial stout. Holds together well, intense and complex (especially for 5.5% ABV), nicely balanced; superbly drinkable. Not much of note from the oysters, but plenty tasty.
