Beer Review: Ballast Point Nitro Red Velvet

The Red Velvet from the Ballast Point Brewing Company is one beer that I had saw numerous times but consistently just passed over in the past, this last time though I decided to call its number and give it a look.

The alcohol content for this nitro oatmeal stout is 5.5% ABV and IBU is 35, so let’s see how it does.
