Oyster stouts . . . are they actually made with oysters? Yeah, some actually are . . . not all, but some. Some brewers will chuck a handful of oysters in to the batch, some will used crushed oyster shells in the brewing process.

Marston's Oyster Stout . . .
Marston's Beer Company has several breweries across the pond in merry ol' England. And is considered Britain’s largest premium ale brewer.
This is a very dark stout . . . nearly black with a quickly dissipating tan head. It has a creamy, smooth texture that should be expected with this style of beer. It tastes of chocolate, coffee and hints of fruit and finishes with a mildly hoppy bitterness; overall, a nice balance of flavors.
This stout is rather light, due to it's low carbonation and low alcohol content, which makes it very drinkable (4.5% ABV).
I liked it . . . but didn't love it. I can't say I'd run out and grab a few but I certainly wouldn't turn one down, either.
