Speculator is distinguished by a balanced but complex spice character in which the alcohol percentage does not dominate the taste. SNAB composes this unique beer by adding a balanced "herbal bag" during brewing. For lovers of spicy beers, this "liquid speculoos" is an absolute must and a true taste sensation.

Smells and tastes like Speculaas spices - ginger, cinnamon. Sweet, sticky texture. Reminds me of cough medicine.

Bottled at Kerstbierfestival 2007. A hazy dark red beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma is very sweet and very spicy - cinnamon, cloves, and cardemomme. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and strong notes of spices, leading to a dry spicy finish.

Extrem gewürziger Antrunk von Weihnachtsgewürzen, süß nach Zimt. Stark malzig, intensiv aromatisch, weihnachtlich. Im Abgang wenig brennend, vielfältig aromatisch, etwas nach Nelke und Zitrus. Sehr speziell! 11/11/11/10//11
