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.

Sampled during Cellars Wine & Spirits weekly beer tasting in St Paul, MN. From a 330 ml bottle pours a hazy brownish amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, some toffee, dark fruits and a lot of white pepper. Taste is medium bodied, very light carbonation with flavors of caramel, yeast, some raisin, black pepper and toasted biscuits. Finish has a mild pepper and earthy spiciness that lingers after the finish.

33cl bottle from řlbutikken, cph. cuts in label says in very broken english, pardon my french, bottled month 10 or 11 2007. got no idea what best before date is, as it is not stated on the bottle. Sampled feb 2009. pours and settles clear dark amber, thick and smooth light brown head, looks fantastic. faint but strong/powerfull dark fruits aroma. brown sugar?. i like this aroma. strange aroma. warmed it up a bit and i got faint sourness. flavor is quite far from aroma. cellary hoppy flavor, faint dark fruits, faint raisins, major driver is the hops. pepper very noticeable in the aftertaste where the beer burns. original concept.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with light cream colored head. Very earthy aroma with hints of sweetnees. Taste is sweet followed by the spice of the peppercorns. The peppery after taste lingers.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber/brownish color with a medium sized beige head. Aroma is pepper, yeast, caramel, grains. Flavor is caramel, pepper, yeast, raisins. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finsihed sweet up front then spicy at the back. Warming from the pepper. Decent brew, paired pretty well with the burger I was eating.

Bottled. Poured deep amber with a short-lived cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up sweeter caramel and toffee notes that supported a blend of black pepper and darker fruits.. some candied notes on the back. The flavor had fruity sweetness supporting bunches of black pepper and other interesting assorted spices that I couldn’t place.. other sweetness came with warmth, including cereal, brown sugar, and caramel.. finished with a candy-like sweetness and lots of black pepper. Medium-bodied and well-balanced on the palate with a lengthy peppery spicage on the finish. Very well done.

Bottle. Wow! This beer is as advertised- peppery and filled with rye. What sounds disgusting actually is very tasty, both to the nose and to the tongue. Nice bits of pepper clear the sinus and the palate. Not much else to say about it. I’d sprinkle this on eggs if I could. Fantastic.
