Ale brewed with lactose, orange peel, black tea, tamarind and star anise

This beer was inspired by a classic spiced chai tea. It’s sweet and rich, with warming spice notes and delicate fruit flavors that maintain a drinkability from the use of black tea in the finish.

Draught @ Fox & Hounds, Sønderborg. Pourd hazy lightish amber with stable off-white head. Clear aroma of fruit and hops, with notes of teast and touches of malt. Sweetish flavour of fruit (apricot?) and malt, with bitter notes of hops and citric touches of orange peel and of nutmeg. Estery and spicy aftertaste with malty notes. Quite refreshing and potent at the same time. Not bad!
