Belzebuth

13% ABV and they are not kidding. Eye opening alcohol burn rips through the heavy texture to attack your palate. One devil of a beer.

Bottle say 13%. Pours bright amber into a snifter. Tan head quickly subsides leaving steady lacing. Sour alcohol aromas. Upfront sticky bubblegum with a cloying sugar alcohol finish.

8.4oz bottle that says 13%ABV. Light copper color with big high carbonation induced off white head. Nice Belgium ale type spicy yeast aroma with a tad of floral hops. There is also a wedge of aroma coming from the alcohol. Good lacing. Sweet malt and sweet sugar flavor. There’s some slight banana and cherry fruitiness. Nice flavor for a crazy 13% ABV.

Pours a medium gold with small white head. Soem nice sticky lacing also. Aroma is spicy malt. I thought the alcohol was masked very well. You can taste it but it doesn’t slap you in the face. Flavor is sweet malts and a little spice. I would not want to drink it but maybe once every couple of months. Seems like it would be a nice chilly weather brew.

this was good honey colored no head. smell like honey and raisin. taste like a hopless barley wine. sweet lushious but short on the finish. it hit the spot after a nice meal.

Bottle from 2000, at 15%. Orange amber ale with no head. Sweetish strong rubbing alcohol aroma. A strong alcohol start, with aniseed, but astringent and dry in mouth. Unidimensional. Dégustation de Vieux Stocks III, Oct. 13, 2006.

Bottle from 2004, 13% ABV and served in a tulip: Pours a some what hazed golden hue with a small frothy ring and some lace. The aroma has notes of candi sugar, husky grains, aromatic and grassy hops, lemongrass, star fruit, apricot, yeast esters, notes of DMS and noticeable alcoholic and phenolic vapours The taste is rather straight forward malt and sugar sweetness with a lot of ripened fruit in the background. I got a hit of grassy and noble hops before they were vanished by the boozy nature of this Strong Ale. This brew even after time in the cellar in completely unbalanced and far too aggressive. Not much else to say but what a disappointment this was, I thought I was smart by aging it but alas it would not take to the graces of time. A waste of a spot in my cellar!

Bottle, 13% version. Pours a cloudy amber with an off white head. Sweet, fruity aroma of rum, apricots, and lots of alcohol. Flavor is sweet (too sweet!), and soon overwhelms the palate with twangy, fusel alcohol. Lacks complexity.
