O.V.L. Stout
Smooth roasted coffee-like aromas and flavor mark this nitrogenated dry stout, which Russian River calls low in alcohol but big in flavor, clean and drinkable. The brewery's text names two strengths, 4.15% and 4.8% ABV; the Untappd listing shows 3.75%, the value used here. Untappd files the beer as an Irish Dry Stout.
