Belzebuth

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

Drank this with fellow taster oldrtybastrd from this site. This poured a clear yellow with some spicy aroma and fruit. This had a lot of alcohol taste with a lot of yeast to back it up. This was not my favorite of this type.

Pours a cloudy copper with a minimal head. Malty aroma with some funky fruit character and hop. Flavor is equally funky with yeast, creamy vanilla, and a sweet finish. Odd, and not necessarily in a good way.

Dark golden, slightly smber color. Small oily head, fast disappearing. Very fruity, sweetish, malty aroma. Very sweet, very strong flavor. Burning alcohol. A touch fruity, malty, some kind of yeast-like flavor in the back. Finish is hot alcohol and malt. Not very nice. Way too strong, way too blatantly so, no complexity, basically useless.

.25L bottle - Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a pale hazy golden yellow color. Aromas of yeast, some fruit and spice. Taste is yeasty and medicinal, can really taste the alcohol in this one.

Pours a majestic light orange and partially glowing yellow-ocre color depending on which part of the glass you stare at. The foam fades from a quarter inch to a thin ring. Holding the beer up to the light reveals the huge amount of suspended yeast as tiny little bubbles race past towards the surface of this golden potion. Smell of a spicy fruit aroma. I think it’s pear and apricot but the alcohol covers it up a bit too well. The alcohol has made virtually all of the spice and real nice aromas background nuances rather than focuses. A very spicy orange and pear with a huge hop bitterness intermingled with a nasty alcohol punch. The malt is huge [and reminds me of an aged DIPA]. This is the French’s version of Private Stock? Nice! Well done. And wow and holy moly that packs a punch. Long stinging after taste. Malty alcoholly goodness. Medium mouthfeel and has a good amount of carbonation but not to muvh. Very much perfect in that regard. You can try to sip this but like the Beast known as P-Stock, this one craves pounding. Maybe that’s why this 13% monster comes in a tiny 3 pack of 8.4oz. bottles. Still I’m pounding this one! Yum! Like I said It comes in a 3 pack of 8.4 oz bottles. 13% ABV and I’m still pounding this one! Too easy to drink! Well done!

yuck. pours ugly brown color. aroma is all booze, as is the flavor. glad i was just sampling a friends, as i couldn’t get down more than one sip.

Appearance: Pours a clear, orange-hued body with a large, foamy, white head. Fine, latticework lacing on the way down. Smell: Slightly candyish nose with meager fruit notes and the scent of a glass of chardonnay perked up with a half shot of grain alcohol. Taste: Sweet caramel and toffee maltiness upfront with a hot alcohol component fast on it’s heels. A few helpings of rock candy. Slight peach and apple fruitiness. Sip of white wine. That ABV is very apparent and once it hits it’s harsh to and beyond the finish with any subsequent flavors becoming washed out in the booziness. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Very warming alcohol presence from stem to sternum. Drinkability: Whew. Definitely a candidate for a slow sipper. Seems to forgo subtle complexities and finesse for a punchy booziness.

Bottle from Crown #19, Indy. Poured clear golden color with a medium to large frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Complex aroma of yeasty and malty. Body was medium with a sticky texture and lively carbonation. Flavor was sweet malt with a medium bittersweet smooth finish and small alcohol burn of moderate duration. Good, not great beer.
