⌂ > Ballast Point Red Velvet

This golden oatmeat stout is brewed with beets and chocolate. Like the cake that inspired it, the deep red color comes from beets, which add a rich, earthy character that complements the chocolate flavor and aroma. The foamy head of the nitro pour is the "icing", adding a creamy smoothness to the mouthfeel. But this liquid dessert still finishes like a beer – not sweet, but just as satisfying. At 5.5 % ABV, this stout takes the cake.
