Specifications

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.

This beer won a gold medal (second place amongst 10 gold medal winners) at the adjudicated "MBeer" contest during the Mondial de la Bière in Montréal in 2006.

The Route des épices was born in our Montreal brewpub in May 2002

Best With: 
The assertive rye character in this beer enables it to pair quite well with rye-friendly foods such as pastrami (particularly on rye bread).

Dieu du Ciel Route des Epices Tasting Notes

Bottle. Amber pour with a slight, white head. Enticing aroma with notes of caramel, spices, earth, malts, and fruit. A nice flavor, certainly uniquely spicy, with some caramel sweetness and even chocolate notes. Light to medium in body. More spice in the finish with distinct notes of peppercorn. A good beer.
