Belzebuth

Brewed by Brasserie Grain d’Orge
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Ronchin, France

Dark orange brown with a small head. Aroma is strong alcohol and rice. Taste is sweet and ricey with a lot of burning alcohol, not hidden at all. Tastes like burning, terrible. Drain Pour.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of sweet alcohol. Flavor starts sweet then finishes with all alcohol. Interesting beer, but not in a good way.

Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet with dark fruits, caramel malts, and alcohol. Flavor is pretty sweet from the caramel malts and dark fruits. Finishes with some warming. Some other funky flavor comes out on the finish that I can’t quite place, but it isn’t pleasant.

Bottle. Golden with a creamy head. As would be expected it had a high alcohol presence. Plenty of body and very warming.To be treated with respect.

[bottle--thanks, cgreb!] Spicy hops in the nose, along with some ethanol and a little dried fruit. Hazy, dark yellow with a thin, white top. Sweet hops flavour develops into an assertive bitterness and then quite a bit of ethanol that comes off as whisk(e)y-like. Warming, clean finish, moderate carbonation.

bottle - clear amber beer with almost no foam. The sweet aroma reminds on whiskey. Flavour is alcoholic sweet llike caramel and whiskey.

Bottle. Smell wasn’t strong. Niether was the taste. Light maltiness and yeasty. Very pour. Will give credit...Didn’t taste like 13%. Still....Boo

The clear, syrupy looking golden liquid is topped with a small, foamy, beige colored head that fades. A dense, soapy wash leaves scattered spotting behind on the glass. Aromas are strongly alcoholic, with a syrupy sweet, corny, fusel sort of overtone that sears the nasal passages. Notes of citrus peel and cream try to fight their way through, but are overtaken by the burn. Flavors show basically like a cheap tripel, hot, corny sweet, and lightly spicy on the back end. Glazed dessert bread gives a yeasty feel, while candied citrus peel and floral hops add contrasting sweet and bitter notes. The mouthfeel isn’t as thick and syrupy as I was expecting. In fact, it borders on watery and weak, but still sports that searing alcoholic heat that cannot be overlooked. This one has some redeeming qualities, but is ultimately just not for me.
