2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Aroma is yeast and alcohol all the way... flavor is superbly sweet with hints of hefe characteristics like lemon zest, citrus, and a touch of sweet vanilla stuff. Honestly... tough to stomach. Try it once and let it go - you can tell why it’s in an 8 oz bottle.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
25 cl bottle at Le Sous Bock in Paris. Clear dark golden color with a fizzy disappearing white head that left only a touch of lace behind. Boozy, fruity aroma reminiscent of fig with a dash of brown sugar. Cloyingly sweet on the tongue with lots of bubbles. I tasted clove, toffee, plum, and lots of alcohol. The alcohol was front and center throughout and detracted somewhat IMO. Too much alcohol without enough supporting cast.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
250 ml bottle, named "Belzebuth Pur Malt Extra Forte", ABV was 13%. In Nice, France. Deep golden colour, low head. Malty sweet and alcoholic aroma, notes of molasses. Flavour is sweet and alcoholic, but the beer is not undrinkable.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
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.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Labelled as 13%. Clear dark amber color with a thin frothy white head. Aroma of sweet malt with hints of fruit. Flavor of candi sugar. LOTS of candi sugar. Some hints of molassas and caramel.

UPDATED: JUL 13, 2011 Overall score is combination of this time (1.3) and last time (4.2).
Wow! Just had this again and all I can say is that this must be a hit or miss beer. This bottle, brought back from France by my parents, smells horribly of that acid that ruins beer and also like butter. Strong for sure, but not much else flavorwise.
Rated this in 4.2 in Jan. 2006. I got to disagree with most of the people on this. It has a crisp feeling that seeps into every pore of your tongue and certainly coats it quite nicely. In my opinion, a nice strong ale that doesn’t taste as strong as it is. Excellent.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
The aroma is very malty and full of alcohol and yeast. The appearance is what I expected from the style and it does have nice lacing. The flavor is fruity, sweet, malty, full of alcohol, and it has a hint of maple syrup. The palate is smooth and the aftertaste is malty and sweet. Overall its very good.
