Brasserie Dupont

Moinette Brune is a sophisticated Belgian Dark Strong Ale that showcases Brasserie Dupont's signature fermentation artistry. Crafted with a blend of four special malts, it presents a deep, complex malt backbone characterized by rich caramel and subtle roasted undertones. The aroma is highly expressive, weaving together deep red and black fruit esters with a nuanced citrus edge and a gentle floral hop presence. On the palate, the full-bodied maltiness is masterfully balanced by a peppery yeast character and the brewery's trademark dry, bracing finish. Despite its strength, the alcohol is seamlessly integrated, offering a smooth warmth that complements its harmonious, fruity complexity.

Appearance. Deep coppery-brown to dark mahogany (20–22 SRM) with brilliant clarity. It supports a massive, dense, and persistent off-white to light tan head that leaves intricate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity featuring a rich, bready-toasty malt base with prominent dark caramel. Strong fruity esters suggest plums, black cherries, and a touch of orange peel. Subtle spicy phenols reminiscent of black pepper and vanilla emerge, alongside a delicate, floral hop perfume and soft alcohol warmth.

Taste. Initial impression of rich, complex malt sweetness with flavors of caramel and dark bread crusts. This is quickly met by esters of dried figs and black currants. Medium-low bitterness provides balance, while the yeast adds a spicy, peppery fermentation character. It concludes with a signature dry and clean finish, avoiding any syrupy heaviness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, smooth texture. High carbonation provides a lively, effervescent mouthfeel that scrubs the palate. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a gentle glow without being sharp or solventy.
