Description
Nestled in the heart of the Jura, the Rouget de Lisle Brewery has been producing beers of character since 1994 with the purest respect for traditions. From childhood, Bruno Mangin, the founder, had a passion for beer. In 1990 Bruno and his wife Roseline opened a unique restaurant concept around beer and offered a menu of 340 beers from 40 countries. They prepare dishes cooked with beer. Their passion for beer being the strongest, they start to "cook their own beers" in their restaurant. Finally in 1994, they decide to produce a range of beers developed on the basis of their own recipes. In 2002, they set up the brewery in Bletterans.

In all, the brewery offers 13 different beers in bottles, part of which is aged in barrels, plus seasonal beers. The brewery produces 6,000 to 12,000 liters of beer per day. Fermentation is a minimum of one week then cellaring for 3 weeks. Then it is filtered on earth. These are unique and rare processes in the production of beer, which explains their quality.

Bottled. A golden beer with a huge very white head. The aroma has notes of smoke, malt, and some caramel. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of caramel and nuts as well as medium notes of smoke and malt, leading to a dry and lightly smoked finish.

Bottle: Poured a murky light brown color ale with a medium size foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of very light smoked malt with some unrefined grain. Taste is more geared toward unrefined grain then smoke which is really shy. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Not bad but I was expecting a more smoky character.

Bottled, brought by a friend. Bottle mentions also: biere noire. Dark color, short head. Aroma of roasted malt, dried fruit, blackcurrant, some rye. Malty taste, bit sweet. It is more close to a porter, than to a biere de garde (it even says so on the bottle, so I don’t know why it is mentioned a biere de garde here...)

Bottled, brought by a friend. Murky reddish color, short frothy head. Aroma of berries, slight hoppy, bit malty, bit yeasty. Fruity taste, not too sweet which is practically the only good thing, but too yeasty. Mwah.

Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and metal - does the latter stem from the alcohol? The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and metal as well as a light acidity - is it from the use of brewing cereal? The body is a bit thin. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
