The Brasserie du Dauphiné is a Grenobloise company. The fruit of my passion for good beer, it is also the result of a dream: to bring the Dauphiné brewing tradition to life and to give Grenoble back its beer, after fifty years of absence.
Its commercial brand has long been Fabrique Mandrin, named after its unique beer brand until 2016. Then, with the creation of two new brands, beers from the Alps and Nobow beers, the commercial brand became Brasserie du Dauphiné .
Bottled. An amber beer with a huge white head. The aroma has notes of dusty and citrusy hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of peaches, malt, lemons, and hops, leading to a bitter finish.
Bottled at La Fine Mousse, Paris. Hazy pale amber, lively brief head. Fruity nose with pine needles. Sweet and fruity with medium body. Juicy, piney and fruity. Mid bitter finish.
Murky very dark brown body. Sweetish nice malty nose with some coffee and licorice. The taste carries on, building a layer of licorice on a solid light slightly coffeeish malty body. Better than I thought it would be!
Bottle at Churchkey, tasted side by side with the Noix. This one had maybe a bit of pine aroma if I use my imagination, but the taste is green apple skins. Interesting.
2nd May 2009 Dark brown opaque stout. Semi dry palate. Light stout! A little bit of roasty malt. A little fruity chocolate as well. Pretty standard but decent enough.
Bottled. A red-brown beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of sweet and roasted malt as well as caramel. The flavor is sweet with ntoes of malt, caramel, straw, and roasted malt.
33 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, yeasty and dark malty. Acidic dark roasted malty. Sweet and slight fruity. Dark roasted malty. Bitter and acidic dark roasted malt finish.
Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a cloudy opaque dark brown. Hard roast nose. Medium body, sweet hard roast, some dark dried fruits and a whiff of licorice. Ends dry but with no real bitterness. Pleasant though. 200111
