Dogbrick (24210) reviewed Cream Stout from Redwood Brewing Co. 19 years ago
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5
Sample at the brewpub: This brew is a flat black color with a medium creamy beige head that is gone pretty fast. Small blobs of lacing race down the sides of the glass. Roasted coffee and malt aroma. Medium-bodied with a smooth texture. Malt and coffee flavors dominate, and there is some dark chocolate behind it all. The finish is soft and sweet, with just a bit of coffee on the back end. Not a medal-winner in my book but pretty good.

Sample at the brewpub: Pours a hazy amber/orange color with a medium off-white head. Sheets of lacing. The aroma is hoppy and fruity but difficult to detect at first. Medium-bodied a moderately bitter with a tasty but not very pronounced hops and citrus flavor. The finish is bitter hops with a residual malty aftertaste. Average in the end.

Dogbrick (24210) reviewed Lodge Octoberfest from Redwood Brewing Co. 19 years ago
Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 6
Sample at the brewpub: This beer is a light and clear amber/orange color with a medium thin off-white head. Thin spotty lacing. Sweet caramel and malt in the nose. On the light side for the style, with a bittersweet malt and hops flavor. The finish is sweet and short, with the hops struggling to linger. All in all this one is unremarkable.

Medium-bodied with a nice roasted malt and coffee flavor. The finish is dry and roasty with a flavorful hops aftertaste. Pretty enjoyable.
