Harpoon Brewery's 100 Barrel Series Island Creek Oyster Stout

Pours like a straight stout. Opaque in the glass, but amber highlights as it pours. Great dark tan head that stays for good.

Smells great too. Big roasted and chocolate flavors, backed by a solid and grainy smell.

Medium body with moderate bitterness, its primary flavor is the roasted grain.

This would make a great imperial, if it had more body, but as a stout it's excellent. I'm starting to like Harpoon more and more.
