Shepherd Neame has added Black Oyster Stout to its Whitstable Bay Collection.

It is described as a "silky keg stout brewed using a unique blend of four coloured malts which impart a rich, complex flavour, balanced by the finest Admiral hops, and finished with a smooth, creamy head".

The introduction of the 4.2% ABV Oyster Stout follows the success of the collection - comprising Whitstable Bay Pale Ale, Whitstable Bay Blonde Lager and Whitstable Bay Organic Ale - since it was launched last July.

Marketing manager Mark Miller said: “This beer reflects the historic association between oysters and stout.

“The Whitstable Bay range offers a great breadth of choice, and we decided that a stout would fit well within the portfolio. “It is available on draught only, and we recommend a cold dispense of 3.5⁰C. It uses a gas mix of 70% nitrogen and 30% CO2, as the high nitrogen content gives a smoother and creamier head.”
