Smelled like pumpkins with alcohol. Not much head. Copper color. A little carbonation. Split with my girlfriend, neither of us cared very much for it. As other breweries have shown, just because a brew is high abv, doesn't mean has to taste terrible.

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - MAR 2, 2010
Bottle, 13%. Alcoholic aroma, hint of caramelly malt. Hazy grey amber colour. Big stable creamy off-white head. The flavour is quite sweet, the alcohol burns through the sweetness like vodka. Caramel sweetness, hint of marcipan.

BrewDad (3667) - Olympia, Washington, USA - NOV 30, 2007
330cl bottle – Gravity Room – Olympia, WA
Aroma – Deep rich Belgian aroma with a fruity essence coming off of it also..
Appearance – Deep golden color with a slight haze and a small head.
Flavor – Had some rich flavors but was actually a nice beer. The Belgian yeast was covered with the high alcohol flavors. 13% wow this was a good thing it is a small beer.
Palate – Fruity on the tongue with a snap of alcohol and dry to the finish.
Overall – Liked the beer it was very interesting but the high alcohol was a killer for me it was so high it gave me a headache and ran out of flavor after a few sips. This is a must try but do not get the six pack.

Not that good . Belzebuth is very malty and the alcahol taste is too strong.

WitchKing (7) - FRANCE - FEB 22, 2004 does not count
Harsh alcohol that doesn't leave much space for flavor & aroma. This is a bit disappointing because you can feel some interesting things in this beer. The first sip will be your trial and if you accept its flaws, you might end up having an OK time with this one.

MAP (1133) - Lakewood, Ohio, USA - APR 30, 2003
Aroma is verry ho-hum. Smells of slight malty sweetness. Color is a nice shining golden-copper, with a tad bit og head. The alcohol is too overpowering in my opinion. Beer is sweet tasting regardless, hints of orange in it. Not enough malt or hops to give this beer anymore of a profile.

Bottle shared with blankboy, HogTownHarry & tupalev - courtesy of blankboy. Pale golden colour with no head. Aroma is sweet and fruity, with strong alcohol notes. Flavour is sweet as well, with a sticky body and notes of hard lemon candy and harsh whiskey. Not very pleasant...
