Route Des Épices (Ale Rousse Au Poivre)
341 mL brown bottle. Pours a clear, reddish-brown colour with a thin off-white head that clings to the sides of the glass. Aroma is mildly citric with some burnt sugar notes. Bready and sugary at the start, orange peel hops come in towards the middle and give way to a growing heat and some spice. Lots of black pepper towards the end with a lingering burn. After a few sips, the pepper completely dominates the beer. Mouthfeel is slick with fairly high carbonation. Unusual but very enjoyable beer.
