Red Howes is the brainchild of Allagash employee, Jeff "Oly" Olson. Oly grew up in a family of cranberry farmers. Red Howes is not only a variety of cranberry but also happened to be the name of Oly’s grandfather. Oly spent much of his childhood with his grandfather in the cranberry bogs, developing a love of farming and music (Oly’s other occupation). Black in color with a creamy biege head, Red Howes is a stout brewed with 2-Row barley, a blend of roasted malts and 3,000lbs of local cranberries, both Red Howes and Early Black varieties. The finished beer has cocoa, coffee and berries in the aroma and flavors of dried fruit and bitter chocolate with a slight tartness and a dry, lingering finish.

    Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

    Pours a deep, slightly reddish sable with a thick tan head. Aroma has notes of roast malt, coffee, caramel, toffee and a hint of chocolate. Flavor delights with notes of toffee, roast malt, quality coffee and caramel.texture is smooth and fairly fizzy, not as solid as most stouts. Fizz has typical strength and does not stick around. Howes about one?
