Mikkeller has opened several world-class craft beer bars all over the world, most recently in Asia. We wanted to apply this globetrotting take to our collaboration brew. We found inspiration in a classic Thai iced tea: the spiced tea and condensed milk classic ubiquitous in Thai restaurants. The result is a spiced amber ale, brewed with black tea, sweet orange peel, tamarind, and star anise with lactose added for a full and creamy mouthfeel.

12 oz. bottle. Can I find anything other than Star Anise here? No seriously, maybe orange peel. But the texture is watery thin, with the only thing my tastebuds get is licorice/ anise. Huge swing and a miss, strike three.

Poured from bottle 4/20/17 thanks John dark copper color with a thin off white head. Aromas of star anise dominates and a few more spices from the kitchen sink are added for good measure. Taste is thin and sweet and I am glad it?s one time only.
