Redhook Blackhook Porter

Brewed by Redhook Brewery
Style: Porter
Woodinville, Washington USA

Good tasting, but a little flat. As good as any of the Red Hook beers get.

A deep dark brown with a tan head. The aroma is a little nutty and full of coffee. Some roasted malts as well. The flavor is a little dry up front with a nuttiness, some malt and coffee. Drinkable...but, not outstanding by any means.

This "porter" has a watery appearance. The taste is like a light beer with a hint of roasted barley. There was nothing particularly remarkable about this beer.

Aroma is pretty deep - chocolate & coffee w/a bit of smoke & burnt rubber. Sweet & molasses. Light hoppy tang. Dark brown black w/light tan head that quickly disappeared. Heavy watery body & mellow carb. Taste is mildly hoppy w/burnt malts & a bit of sweet and sour hit. Undramatic porter that needs more character development. Light bitter finish & after. Some coffee bitter,too. So-so porter. Watery & a bit weak

Deep brown with a small beige head. Smells very much like coffee. Smooth palate and coffee flavor.

Dark brown color with a hint of red. Small head with a gentle malty aroma. Not as heavy as most porters.Light sweet chocolate flavor.

Light brown head, short lived with small traces of laceing left behind.Clear, dark mahogany. Pretty beer.Malty grainy nose. Medium body, dry, some chocolatey notes also.Dry finish.A fairly bland brew.

Pours black (transparent shining red through light) with a thin whiteish head. Aroma is roasty and leaving me a little lukewarm. Kind of bland. Flavor is typical porter. Really nothing special, but getting everything right. Kind of like just getting it together and not going a step extra. It's a perfect tasting porter to guage others by, I think, seeing as it's a classic example that adheres pretty much to the strictest standard of the style. One thing I forgot is that it does contain a nice esteriness in the flavor, which is pleasant.
