Ballast Point Sextant Oatmeal Stout Nitro

Wonderfully delicious stout, just as good as Left hand milk stout nitro. Very smooth. That's all I got for you. Delicious. Also, I think it's a limited edition for San Diego beer week, so we probably won't be able to find in Texas. But if you're in Cali and like stouts, get some! 

Ballast Point Victory at Sea Imperial Porter

This is a coffee vanilla Imperial Porter. I unfortunately took a huge first sip- wow was it strong! I had to let the flavor settle down. This is definitely a porter with very pronounced coffee and vanilla tones- similar to drinking a pretty stout black coffee. It's got a bold chocolate tone, with some caramel-y hints and a bitterly flavorful aftertaste. This is a delicious beer for fall/winter time sipping with a friend. Would pair nicely with a sweet dessert or after dinner drink.
