21st Amendment Marooned on Hog Island
From 21st Amendment – When life gives you oysters, be sure to brew some killer oyster stout. That’s exactly what Nico Freccia and Shaun O’Sullivan, co-founders of 21st Amendment Brewery did. In a food+beer collaboration with Hog Island Oyster Company co-founders, John Finger and Terry Sawyer, the 21st Amendment Brewery team has created Marooned on Hog Island, the latest beer in their Insurrection Series, a limited edition, once-in-awhile four-pack release of a very special beer that rises up in revolt against common notions of what canned beer can be. Marooned on Hog Island has an ABV of 7.9% and was brewed using Magnum and Willamette hops with an ale yeast, a variety of malts including Pale, Crystal, Chocolate and Carafa, Rolled Oats, White Wheat and the kicker: 450 pounds of Hog Island Sweetwater oyster shells.
21st Amendment – 21st Amendment Marooned on Hog Island – 12 oz. can poured into a goblet. 7.9% abv.
Appearance: Pours a solid dark brown, letting no light through at all. Atop sits a sparse layer of micro film and a tan ring around the edges.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Roasty dark malt, dark chocolate and a little bit of wine.
Taste: Medium coffee roast, black pepper, burnt toast, dark chocolate. A little bit of a twang in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Active spicy carbonation. Full bodied.
Overall: Very simple, and pretty well executed. I usually get a spicy throat coating from oyster stouts, but not this time.
