Pelforth Brune

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

Dark ruby with small off white foam head. Small aroma of caramel, taste is bit too sweet. Little aftertaste. ONe of the beers that I drank while camping in Lyon and when the weather would be a bit warmer I would have appreciated this more. (Lyon 201207)

Pelforth, beer pelican in northern France, a dark brown color, it has hints of caramel, it is short on the palate. This is a beer I like younger with syrup of cassis to strengthen his character.

Looked like a cola, with a clear dark brown body beneath a creamy light brown head. Not much going on with this one for my nose. Taste and mouth were strictly average, with too much toffee sweetness at the finish.

Pours too thin for the style. Dark brown with a frothy head. Smells of grain and coffee. I can taste the cheapness here. It is thinly disguised with a coffee/chocolate flavor. Mouthfeel is watery. Recipe: take nasty pelforth blonde and add chocolate flavor. Viola.

A clear dark ruby - brownish beer with a medium white foam collar on top. Has a malty aroma with a bit yeast. Feels watery and a bit acidic. Has flavors of malt and brown sugar. The aftertaste is malt and sweet.

Much stable foam. Color is rich and darkish brown. Very beautiful. Aroma is a little bit too watery, but still has some hints to the hops and caramel. In the taste there's a strong hint to the cookies and caramel. Surprisingly rich and interesting beer.

Poured from 500ml can, brought back from France. Not much head but an otherwise lovely appearence. A tawny red, like a blood red when held to the light. Mouthfeel needs some work, the macro side of this beer is evident right away (the Brasserie now owned by Heineken). Texture way off from what it should be for a brune of any style (this is listed under various categories such as English brown ale, etc elsewhere) Texture on the watery side and carbonation way too high! Some chewiness. Flavour and aroma are both very hard to find. Some malt detected, but hardly any. Maybe the can doesn't do it justice?? The beer would redeem some points as it warmed, but in large part this was simply not very good.

330 ml bottle, in France. Deep brown colour, decent tan head. Flavour is malty with some caramel, fairly sweet. Smooth and nice to drink. Hardly any bitterness at all.

This French dark lager pours a brown-red colour with a nice creamy head. The lacing is good and the retention is long. Very pleasant scent of roasted malt and nuts with a slight metallic background. The taste starts nutty and finishes sweet, going into the aftertaste. There is also mild bitterness in the finish. Reminds me of some Irish reds and the mouthfeel is smooth. I am rarely amazed by beers from France, but I would drink this one anyday. Thanks to Matt for sharing this one brought back from France itself.

Pelforth poured a dark burgandy color with an off white head leaving little lace. The aroma waas dark fruits and very winey. Mouthfeel was medium bodied. The flavor was very rich and complex with notes of plums and figs. A good French beer.
