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.

An amber beer with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet malty, but what a differens the flavor has - the flavor contains lots of ginger, as well as alcohol and pepper, and leads to a dry end. The pepper is just not me.

(Bottle 34,1 cl) Courtesy of mortendb. Pours a slightly hazy, amber golden with a handsome, tall, dense, beige head. Aroma of caramel and spices. Fairly light in body with light notes of caramel, a light fustiness and then very distinct accents of pepper that also leaves an impressive burn. Quite interesting, but I’m not sure if I could finish a full bottle. 120108

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden amber with dense white head. Light spiced and mild caramel malty aroma. Flavour is somewhat ordinary caramel malty, but the black pepper clear builds up towards the finish. Gets quite strong and slight burning in the finish from the pepper. Not impressed.

Bottle. Clear medium red amber color with a large, frothy - creamy, good - excellent lacing, fully lasting, light beige head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, caramel, moderate to heavy black pepper. Flavor is moderate sweet and a heavy peppery burn with a long long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. A funny beer but to much black pepper for me. (090408)

Bottle, 5%. Weak malty aroma. Hazy dark amber colour. Big stable light brown head. The flavour starts off malty, turns a little wheaty and then very peppery. Tastes a bit like mild chili. Nicely burning aftertaste, but it gets a bit much after a while. Quite flavourful, but slightly thin mouthfeel.

Bottle. Clear orange coloured with a huge off white ehad. Spicy aroma of fruits, caramel, liquorice and pepper. Flavour of caramel, pepper, fruits and hops. Hoppy and burniing peppery finish.

Dark amber, bright. Breadcrusty, toffeeish nose. Toffee and pepper on the palate. Didn’t do much for me.
