Redhook Double Black Stout

Brewed by Redhook Brewery
Style: Stout
Woodinville, Washington USA

Solid black with a brown head. Coffee and chocolate aroma. Roast taste with vanilla, nut, and cream. Ends with a bitter roast coffee finish. Good balance overall.

22 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown body with a small fizzy brown head that faded fairly quickly despite lots of visible carbonation. The nose is right up my alley. Roasty, but not overdone with lots of fresh brewed coffee. Add some chocolate and earthy notes and you get something wonderful. The flavor has nice balance, the coffee accents but doesn’t dominate. A very solid roasty and chocolaty Stout. On the drier side of things without any astringency at all. Nice lingering earthy and coffee finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, almost creamy in texture with soft fizzy carbonation. This was petty nice, a good hommage to the original Starbucks version that was one of my most memorable beers early on in my craft beer journey.

black pour with a big frothy head. Aroma is thick with coffee, milk chocolate, and a touch of vanilla and caramel- also a bit of a woody, or perhaps even smoky aspect to it, and a tinge of bitter hop. Flavor is very roasty, with again lots of coffee. Extremely smooth, a bit thin on the mouthfeel, but not bad for a non-imperial stout. Pretty solid, definitely the best effort from Redhook that I’ve tasted.

bomber shared with myself. Pours a deep brown with a tan head. some nice lace on the glass. notes of cold pressed coffee, milk chocolate, with some hop bitterness. very smooth and drinkable. is there alcohol in this? mouthfeel is slightly thin. pretty good.

BOTTLE: dark black pour, roasty chocolate on the nose, monster roast coffee on taste. A little bit of burnt / charred taste. Good stuff.

Pours a very dark black color with a good sized, foamy tan head that leaves spots of lacing behind. The aroma shows dark chocolate, roasted coffee, espresso, and some earthy hops. The flavor follows suit with the dark chocolate and roasted coffee coming together with a nice balance between the roast and sweetness. The earthy hops lend some bitterness on the backend as well. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and smooth with good carbonation. Pretty good flavor in this stout.

Solid black beer with a tan head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate. Flavor is sweet roasty and light coffee. Clean balance beer pretty good.

Bottle shared by DYCSoccer17. Dark, cloudy brown, light head. Moderate coffee, chocolate aroma. Slightly charred, sweetish flavor with a lightly doughy, moderate coffee character. A little too smoky for my tastes.
