Bouteille 500ml étiquetée sous le nom de « Moling’s Traditional Celtic Beer », courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur rouge-brune et claire. Nez malté de caramel aux petites notes rôties, léger de biscuits, de pain et de houblon herbeux, (rappelant le thé) aux faibles notes terreuses et florales ainsi que des notes fruitées (agrumes) et des traces de tabac de cigarette. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen (notes croustillantes) et une texture légèrement crémeuse et aux petites notes aqueuses. Notes fruitées (agrumes) accompagné d’un léger goût de tabac de cigarette ainsi que des notes de grains de malt lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de caramel moyennement sucré et aux notes rôties ainsi qu’un léger goût de pain grillé et de biscuits au miel. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve une moyenne amertume asséchante de houblon floral, légèrement herbeux (thé et herbe mouillée) et aux notes terreuses jusqu’en finale. Post-goût moyen et un peu sec, moyennement amer de houblon floral et herbeux avec des notes de tabac de cigarette et des traces de noix.

pours a clear reddish-brown colour under a robust pale beige foam; nice lace; earthy and biscuity maltiness; some notes of ginger bread and a touch of berries; medium-bodied and with a fair earthy bitterness; rather high carbonation; quite dry biscuity and fruity finish - a nice one

I will choose this over Killians Irish Red as I prepare for St. Patty’s Day. Pours with a deep red brown topped by a medium thick head with lots of lace. A nice hoppy flavor with a touch of sweet maltiness.

A tasting at Three Callers Milwaukee. A good, not great Irish. Nothing stands out yet nothing offended either. Worth a try.

had this at a ber fest. Nice beer, but nothing special. I would have to say this was a very average beer.

Bottle from Tbone , thanks! Dark amber color. Cinnamon, butterscotch, cookies and the slightest hint of peaty smoke in the aroma. Sweetish, malty, slightly peated flavor with cardemon and cookies. Some nutty bitterness in the aftertaste. Warming ale with a somewhat sticky mouthfeel.

Bottle reads Molings: Appearance: Nut brown colour, low head disappears quickly. Aroma: Dried fruits figs cherries leather and bread. Flavour: Bready and biscuity with a goodly dose of floral hops some leather and tobacco. Mouthfeel: Light bodied witha prickly mouthfeel. Overall: Bready smoky and leathery and lots of complex fruit esters. Reminds me of a trappist beer without the sweetness or alcoholic zap. Easy drinking finishes dry and moreish. It would be great with cheddar and apples.
