Speculator

Speculator is a living, not pasteurized, fermented beer and is distinguished by a balanced yet complex spice character with the alcohol not dominating the taste. During the brewing  a 'bouquet' of various herbs and spices is added and this gives the beer its unique taste. Although the name suggests in the Netherlands a typical December beer, it is an all season one, which we however continue to produce limited.
For lovers of spicy beers, this "liquid gingerbread" is an absolute must and gives you a true taste sensation.
