Reibert Arbring2010-09-12 | Molson Rickard's DarkEnglish Porter | 4.8%2.53 |
Beer produced by Molson Breweries Of Canada. Ltd., CA Appearance: The beer is dark red, brown and grey in the color, an off-white head with very small bubbles, some lacing. (3) Aroma: The smell is mostly in the heavy roasted malt area, but rather subtle. (3) Taste: The taste is sweet, a bit like chocolate on brown bread, but also some tone of wet old wood. (2.5) Palate: Medium high carbonation, but surprisingly spritzy, giving a weak soda association. (2.5) Overall: This is not a good example of an English porter - at all! (2) on-tap at a Baton Rouge. |

Beer produced by Molson Breweries Of Canada. Ltd., CA Appearance: A clear red amber brew with an off-white head that leaves rather good lacing. (4) Aroma: The smell is dominated by the malt aromas, sweet brown bread mainly. (3) Taste: The taste has an upfront sweetness, raisins, dried figs, acidity from green pears and ripe lemons. (3) Palate: Rather high carbonation, refreshing for being a red. (3) Overall: Not at all bad (the Rickard's seem to be better than Molson in average). (3.5) on-tap at a Baton Rouge. |
