13%. not much of an aroma but some malts. gold colored with a large creamy white head. malty flavor. some fruits and something woody. similar to sherry. i really dont know what to make of this. better than expected but still not anything i would enjoy drinking regularly.

Bottle. In Switzerland. Amber/red color, medium lasting off-white head. Very sweet and alcoholic, the after taste is not that bad though. It’s ok but wouldn’t seek to buy it again.

Ever had Steel Reserve? Yeah, this is the one thing I can compare it to. This beer kicks you in the face with it’s extreme hairspray malt liqour crap factory taste. It is terrible in flavor, and only cool to me because it is a European strong ale and reminds me of something people would have drank a few hundred years ago. Still, do not buy this.

bought at drinks of the world in lucerne,switzerland bottled, 13vol%, named belzebuth extra forte white head nice golden color smells malty,rather sweetish,wich a strong and a bit artificial seeming caramel,some hidden orange-like smell,and something hidden like sweat tasts malty,the caramel taste seems rather sweetish and a bit artificial to me,but there’s some hidden citrus too,and some hops aftertaste caramel,malt,some bitterness,some hidden viny fruityness would be better,if it was a bit less sweetish,if the hidden fruityness would be stronger, and caramel less artificially seeming it’s mentionned on that side,that alcohol content was lowered to 11%,but as it seems the 13% version is still brewed.perhaps the 115%version is better.

(13% ABV version) Pours a deep orange with small white head. Very malty scent. Sweet, toffee malt character. Not as thick as you would expect with the high strength. Peppery alcohol touch which gives a nice wamrth the whole way through.

13% 8.4 oz. bottle into Belzubuth glass. Pours a simple clear golden yellowish color with a white head that lighty stays around. Sweet yeast and honey hints come from the aroma. Taste brings out heavy alcohol and malt, citrus, and sweet caramel (a lighter note). Very warm in the mouth and on the palate all the way to the stomach. Is somehow drinkable to me while being heavy tasting in alcohol.

Hardly any aroma at all after pouring. Initially opened bottle had a soft caramel scent. Creamy texture that ends with a mild bitterness and extremely soft astringency. Notes of sweet cherries, banana and spice. Sweet.
