What does 'oyster beer' taste like?

Describing the process, the Fallen Brewing team say, "The oysters were shucked, shells added early in the boiling process with the meat and brine added late.

“The shells and liquid inside the oysters add a wonderful briny, ‘sea-water’ character while the proteins in the meat add to the already luxurious, soft, full texture of the beer.

“It has a sweet but clean aroma on the nose with a rich dark colour and a firm white head, delivering a fresh sweet and rich malty flavour with a clean ever-so-slightly briny finish.”
