Redhook Blackhook Porter

Brewed by Redhook Brewery
Style: Porter
Woodinville, Washington USA

Dark in color with a nice thick choco-head on it. Very creamy taste but not much else at all. nothing else to write about.

This one was a nice dark coffe color with a cramy white head. Great earthy aroma, creamy, coffee, earthy, malty flavors that just dropped off and left me feeling like I'd just drunk oddly flavored water. This one didn't deliver on it's promise and it was so low in carbonation that it was almost undetectable. Not going back to this one.

Nearly opaque black with brown streaks running thru it, small than head and minimal lacing. Detected aromas of burnt malt, espresso, bittersweet chocolate, smoke. The taste started tart and bittersweet, got some mild sweetness midway through, finished bitter and coffee dry. The body was only thin, watery and fizzy mouthfeel. An okay porter, nothing to seek out.

Appearance is dark black with nice head. Flavor is sour with a slight bitterness. Dark chocolate taste. Aroma is faint coffee. Overall a decent porter but a little too thin and sour to be a great one.

Deep mahogany reds with a thin foamy head like hot chocolate. Enticing nose with hints of anise, coffee and charcol. Very creamy mouthfeel. Initially very nice roast coffee bitterness with a clean, light body. As it warmed it took on a white sugar sweetness like someone put too much sugar in their coffee. Still a decent porter.

Not a big fan. It's my first "Porter" style beer though. I was imnpressed by the deep red color of the beer in the glass, but the head was not very impressive. It was pretty flat, and it seemed to me to have a sort of sour flavor in my mouth. It goes down smooth enough and is a decent drink. I believe it cost something like 6.50 dollars for six pack.

Not a bad beer but is kind of watery for the style. Not very alcoholic and goes down smooth.

Labeled Redhook Nitro Porter. Black; thick, creamy tan head and lacing that lasted all the way to the bottom; mild aroma; strong taste of roasted coffee and chocolate with some hops. Enjoyed it, but something was missing...didn't leave me wanting for more.
