Commercial Description:
Routes des épices (French for "Spice Route") is a rye beer brewed with both black and green peppercorns. Initially, the beer reveals flavours of fresh grain and malt, which give it notes of chocolate, caramel, and fruit. The pepper flavour and aroma is fully revealed in the finish, which leaves a pleasant, spicy, tingling sensation on the tongue.

Bottle shared at Butter’s Big Cellar Blowout. The last of this brewery flight. Clear reddish orange pour with no real head. Massive pepper flavor and ginger. Aweful heartburn in the back of the throat. Can’t get behind this one. But that is definitely my personal proclivity toward not tolerating spicy shit.

Bottle at Butters Big Cellar Blowout. Pours an off-white head with a clear amber body. Smells of ginger, white pepper, and salt. Flavor is pepper, ginger, little malt, and some honey. Finish is spicy and awesome.

The aroma is malty with caramel, fruit, and a touch of spice but it does not give a hint of the hot pepper that is coming. The appearance is deep amber with a smaller head. The palate is smooth. The finish is incredibly hot with pepper. Overall a well crafted beer.

12oz bottle. Unfiltered orange-brown color, big head. Some spicy caramel aroma. Smooth and malt certainly, with a quite odd black pepper finish. Smooth mouthfeel, but the black pepper really starts to dominate, which leaves an almost unpleasant hot feeling. Out of all the DdC beers, I’m surprised they decided to bottle this one. Has some delicate Belgian qualities, but it also seems a little poorly aged. I’ll bet it’s a different creature fresh on tap.

Big shiny beige lasting head. Cloudy dark brown body. Strong fruity roasty cardamom and caramel aroma with spicy cinnamon notes. Dry-sweetish herbal spicy roasty taste with peppery minty notes. Smooth, spicy hot mouthfeel. Clean palate. Fullish body. Dry chocolatey spicy marzipan aftertaste with toffee notes. Excellent, and highly interesting, if perhaps not as drinkable as it could have been. (0.355l bottle, Ølbutikken, Copenhagen.)

This is an interesting beer. It has a hearty mouthfeel. At first tast, A caramel malt predominates, but then a spiciness comes forward. A pepper flavor that lingers on.
