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.

Pours dark copper with a 1 finger, creamy, beige head. Aroma is sweet grainy malt, caramel, whole peppercorns, light floral and citrus notes, nose is somewhat weak, but very interesting. Flavor is strong caramel, earthy notes, light rye notes, nice pepper melange notes, sweet grain and dusty straw. Finish is sweet malt, toast and pepper. Palate is medium bodied, creamy entry, very dry finish, with a slight peppery burn. I like it, off the beaten path in a good way, not fantastic stuff, but interesting.

Flaske: Brun let gennemsigtig øl med et fint skumhoved. Diskret duft af peber og humle. Smagen er først let maltdomineret, men peberen slår hurtigt igennem på en flot og meget komplementerende måde. Virkelig en anderledes og spændende øl.

12 oz bottle at Caliente in Richmond. Caramel maltiness, rye crispness and a very nice pepper spiciness. Unique, but definately in the Belgian style. Steak au poivre in a bottle.

Dark amber color, opaque, filmy head. Fresh ground black pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg on the nose. Malty backbone with a strong pepper bite. Very carbonated, very peppery - sort of burns the throat.

341 ml bottle. Pours a dark reddish-brown with small slightly off-white head. Caramel malt, pepper, rye and spice in the nose. Caramel malt at the start of the taste is quickly overtaken by the pepper. Lots of pepper, although it gets muted somewhat by the rye. Warm, spicy finish. Interesting but don’t know if I’ll be rushing for a second.

Golden color, small white head. Aroma of spiced pumpkin pie. Taste of lemon and pepper. More pepper than lemon, though. Tolly Cobbold had an IPA like this about 15 years ago in Suffolk, England. Interesting.

Bottle thanks to ballewblake. Pours with a tan head over a hazed amber body. Aroma of pepper, rye, spice, caramel and rose hips. Taste is spice and...woah, a lot of pepper. This beer raped my mouth! Way to much pepper. Dry with light bubbles.
