Ballast Point Takes The Cake Tacoma

Ballast Point Brewing & Spirits brewed a nitro “golden” oatmeal stout. That’s clear? But it’s made with beets. So it’s red? OK. Duh. It obviously resembles a slice of red velvet cake with the foamy head of the nitro pour as the “icing,” adding a creamy smoothness to the mouthfeel.

Red Velvet Nitro Oatmeal Stout is definitely dessert in a glass dominated by chocolate with earthy notes of beets, subtle wafts of roast cocoa and vanilla. And it’s definitely the focus of Peaks and Pints’ Lodge Meeting with Ballast Point.
