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.

For a black pepper beer, i would guess this is the best it could get. Very unique. Very peppery smell. Starts like your normal light darker beer. But the finish is very peppery. By its self, you wont get it to enjoy... with a good steak... hard to beat. Very unique!

pours brown with red highlights with a beige head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel, salt, pepper, dates, sugar, earth. wow. quite peppery. leaves a spicy burnt feel in the back of the throat. Very interesting beer. Tastes like an awesome chocolaty brown ale with a bunch of black peppercorns dumped in. The pepper is a bit overpowering at times. Neat to see the peppercorn highlighted like this, but for everyday drinking would pepper to be toned down a bit. Try it!

Red with moderate beige head. Malty aroma, a little peppercorn. Flavour is very peppery and malty. Finish is nice and spicy. pepper predominates but it doesn’t become overpowering. If you like spicy food you’ll love this.

Pours an amber-plum color with off-white head. Very interesting aroma swirling with notes of wood, smoke, cola, rye, peppery spice, ginger, cinnamon, yeast, and slight licorice- not a particularly strong aroma but really complex. Flavor is extremely spicy up front with notes of cinnamon, ginger, sweet oranges, and caramel, finishing with an immense hit of pepper. Pepper may dominate a tiny bit, but its nice to really taste it rather than just reading it in the ingredients. Really interesting brew.

This dark copper beer poured with a massive beige head and a toffee and licorice aroma. The flavor is fairly complex, with some caramel, chocolate and a spicy hot pepper finish. An interesting brew.

Weak aroma of anise and black pepper. Clear brown, thin yellowish head. Certainly peppery, not a great flavor for beer, IMHO, but it may complement certain foods very well. I would imagine it goes well with gamy meats. It’s not awful, but it gets tiresome once the novelty wears off.
