Redhook Double Black Stout

Brewed by Redhook Brewery
Style: Stout
Woodinville, Washington USA

POurs black with little head. Nose is roasty coffee, chocolate malt. Flavor is bitter coffee, dark chocolate and roast malts. However, none of them are prevailing. Just hints. Medium body. So so.

Opaque black pour with a small white head. Subtle aroma of smoke and coffee. Flavor is rich roasted malt with coffee and a dash of chocolate and smoke. Thick and syrupy. Good.

Very dark with a dirty cream head. very weak smell of chocolate. Fizzy with massive taste of fruit, coffee and a hint of caramel. a sweet dry chocolate aftertaste leaves you wanting more. Very distinct, tastes a lot better than it looks but since when does anyone buy a beer just to look at it?

22oz bomber purchased at Hannaford. Pours an opaque black body with close to an inch of light tan head. Toasty malt and coffee characterize the aroma. Roasty and toasty malts, vanilla, cocoa, and coffee all play strong roles in the flavor, all intermingling well. Rich full mouthfeel with ample carbonation to help clear the plalate and aiding drinkability. A solid double stout, a decent coffee beer. Nothing mind-blowing, but a great stout and something I’ll probably be getting again

22 oz bottle - Oct 2008 production Aroma is coffee, cocoa, and chocolate. As the beer sits, the coffee aroma dissipates. Appearance is dark black with a billowing brown head. Lacing is minimal. Roasted malt flavors are prevalent, with a slight alcohol warmth on the back of the tongue. Chocolate and coffee flavors are light but remain on the palate after swallowing. Leaves a dry sensation on the palate, almost chalky. Overall not a bad stout; the coffee element is nice and not overdone.

Very black with a thin tan head. Aroma is chocolate and coffee. Strong coffee and roasted malt flavor, some sweet molasses. More bitter than sweet. This was the best of everything I sampled at Redhook today.

When poured hard there is a big dark head. Beer is black with red jets. Aroma is mainly chocolate milk with touches of coffee and metal. The flavor is lighter than hoped with dashes of chocolate, metal, and a touch of coffee. Exhale is stronger coffee, but still not much. Honestly could be better! Warming brings signs of smoke and tar with a touch of salt, much like soy.

Pours dark brown with a thin light brown head. Smells of roasted malt, peppery, some fruity hints. Tastes of roasted malt, coffee, some licorice, some soy sauce. Average.
