Despite names like Fat Spider Ale, Turkey Stout and Black Kitty Brown, only one BYO recipe has ever featured animals as an ingredient — Black Pearl Oyster Stout. We’ve been lucky enough to taste this beer, brewed by Joe Walton and Jim Michalk, and it’s delicious. The beer has a complex dark grain character and a slightly silky mouthfeel. There’s no strong oyster flavor, but you may detect a slight salty/briney character. For best results, use hard water with a moderate to high level of carbonates.

Shade Mountain Stout, which is 100% organic, definitely meets the style
guidelines for a true oatmeal stout. The aroma exhibits roasted grain
characters followed by coffee and chocolate notes. A rich, light brown
head tops the nearly opaque liquid and holds all the way to the bottom
of the glass. The flavor exhibits a smooth roast grainy profile
combined with chocolate and a slight nuttiness. The high percentage of
oats contributes to a full bodied mouthfeel and silky smoothness. A
higher temperature and somewhat thick mash produces a slightly sweet
finish. The one hop addition serves to be just enough to balance the
residual sugars.
