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.

Hazy amber with a thin white head. Aroma is peppery. Taste is pepper, ginger, and isn’t too bad. Slightly hot finish.

Clear red amber with a thin head with good lacing. Aroma is Spices caramel, wood and malt. Flavor is malt, caramel, smoke, pepper, spices with a long spicy aftertaste. Much better than the first batch which was too spicy. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Interesting, but not my everyday beer.

12 oz bottle purchased at Ramsey Liquors, NJ. Pours an attractive amber/bronze with an off white head. Aroma of pear, caramel and some woodiness too. Flavor is rich, sweet and malty then a prominent (but not harsh pepper spiciness shows up in the finish tingling the tongue. Imagine a doppelbock with pepper added to it - notes of caramel, molassess, dark fruits, noble hops and tinge of wood. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Interesting - worth a try.

Butters’ cellar blowout tasting. Reddish golden brown. This beer is spicy as hell. Tons of Indian (dots not feathers) spices. Ginger, corriander, Most unique beer of the tasting. I love Indian food and this would be amazing with it.

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.
