The site of this Russian River brewery tap house, was a a tavern named The Old Vic and this beer name stands for Old Vic loyal, a tribute to the loyal patrons of the tavern that used to operate here.
Very dark, mainly auburn with chestnut overtones, for the look. Very creamy, tan head. Moderate levels of mixed dark roast grains and a little touch of blackstrap molasses. The dark roasted malt creates a little bite that lasts awhile.

July 27th, 2015 - Onwards to the dark thimbles on the Russian River cornucopia taster banquet. The OVL stout collects a nice head, with a scaled pattern along the edge of the glass, and a light cocoa powder scent. The palate is surprisingly thin, and the flavor disappoints, with a soil style flavor palate, but thin and bitter.
