COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is the AleSmith incarnation of a Belgian Strong Ale. Horny Devil is an authentic Belgian Style ale, from the Belgian candi sugar right down to the yeast, a Belgian strain from a Trappist monastery in Belgium. In addition to the malts, candi sugar and fresh hops, there is also a little added twist from coriander seeds, which impart a refreshing citrus flavor to an outstanding ale. Belgian ale lovers around the world have raved about Horny Devil, and you will too.

I was already drunk when I had this one. I remember that it has a very strong coriander aroma and floral aftertaste. I did not like it at the beginning, but I kept drinking it and at the end it was more enjoyable than I thought. Still is not my cup of tea.

Memory of taster @ the brewery. Light and very fruity - strong peach and apricot. Dangerously quaffable. I’m almost purring.

Rando7 (621) - Iowa, USA - MAY 29, 2013
Bottle pours clear gold/yellow with thick foamy white head. Aroma light fruits and Belgian yeast. Taste quite sweet with candi sugar, caramel malts and some light fruits and spices. Sweet finish. Palate thick, near-syrupy, moderate carbonation. Didn’t get much hops at all.

Decent Belgian ale.

rosenbergh (4762) - Helsinki, FINLAND - MAY 27, 2013
750 ml bottle. Kuikka, Helsinki, Finland. Clear pale golden colour with a small white head. Strong Belgian yeast, malt, sweetness and dry hops in the aroma. The flavour is very yeasty and spicy. There's no Belgian delicacy. But there's malt, sweetness, biscuits, spicy hops and mild fruitiness. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Thx! to Kraddel. 750 ml. Sampled. Hazy golden with a thick white head. Nose is huge old grapefruit, touch old BE yeast, touch blaster, vintage notes,… Taste is over carbonated old BE yeast; spices, light caramel, thick spices, cheese, thick old plaster,.. Body is over carbonated. About as good as any over-aged BE beer. Not worth the price & effort, total downer.

Hammy78 (617) - Dundas, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 3, 2013
Bottle purchased at Consumers BeverGes Niagara Falls New York. Pours a cloudy golden colour, no real head, yeast marks. Smells sweet, yeasty and typically Belgian. Tastes sweet, a little bitter bite. Almost an element of saltiness too. Really nice and drinkable.

esox (863) - Oulu, FINLAND - MAY 1, 2013
Bottled. Hazy golden beer with frothy and lacy, slightly diminishing head. Orangey and coriandery nose, some pear notes and slightly peppery yeast. Starts slightly sweet with loads of fruit nectars. Nice yeast character, light sourness combined with peppery notes. Dryish finish has light bitteness. Hides alcohol perfectly. Medium body, smooth, slightly yeasty texture. Well balanced beer. Maybe a bit too sweet.

Light golden, clear, minimal white head. Smells of caramel, coriander, cereal, hay, grass, sweet sweet yeast and . Medium sweetness, lightly bitter, light body. Lively, thin feel, very well balanced and refreshing.
