Belzebuth

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

8 and 2/5 ounce bottle from Beverages & More! Arden. Pours a clear orange-brown with a large ivory head, that quickly reduces to a pillwoy top. Aroma has a lot of general fruitiness, some alcohol, grain, and Belgian yeastiness. Woo! - Sweetness and alcohol kick you in the balls immediately upon first sip. Big shiver down by back, followed by instant internal warmth. Second sip yields yet another shockwave through my skeleton. By the third sip, it just tastes like a sweet malt liquor, artificially fortified, made with Belgian yeast. It’s not bad really, just super sweet and chemical in flavor. Medium carbonation, thin viscosity. I knew what I was getting into here and this is pretty much exactly what I expected; that is, very sweet, no hiding the booze, very unbalanced. Not great, but not shabby either. Worth the experience, if not just for shits and giggles. Overall. fair to good.

Bottle, 25cl - Clear orange copper beer with a small white head. Aroma is sweet malty with notes of honey, rooibos, alcohol and dates. Flavor is very sweet with notes of prunes, hay, nuts, honey and raisins. Not really balanced but an interesting dessert beer.

Ambré, with small off white mousse. Aroma is hot, peppery and sweet malty. Taste is round, sweet, alcoholic and hot. an out of balance alcoholic beer.

Bottle at The Penguin Beer Bobbing/13 Beers of Halloween tasting. Dazzling yellow with a lacing white halo. Pretty nasty cherry palinka, almond, grass and brandy aroma. Sweet but not excessively so; slight petrol, almond, honey, metal and white flour. Grassy hops surprisingly intact. Actually pretty mellow at the ABV: none of my guests guessed it to be more than 9%. Amateurs. Sink got none, but finishing a bottle on my own would be a struggle.

0,33 l bottle as a gift.
Golden.amber body with a small delicious lacing white head. Sweet liqueric malt aroma with fruitiness by raisins and apricot. I feel some almond in the nose with some interesting spicy aroma of vanilla and candy. Oily texture with sweet and liqueric flavor of malt, some caramel and honey, minimal bitterness and the freaky malt..

Clear golden honey color with a fluffy cream colored head. Aroma is faint but floral, with some malt and hops, and honey. Flavor is extraordinarily sweet, and I suspect a lot of people will have a problem with that. I however, have a sweet tooth, and this beer satisfies. Flavor is predominately honey and caramel. Smooth finish. Not bad, but I was expecting something more special.

Bottle. High fluffy and long lasting white head leaving nice long lacings. Slightly hazy amber body. Alcohol dominated aroma with barley malt and caramel. The rice added sweetens the flavor and makes is less alcohol tasting. Unfortunately it also makes the beer a good deal more boring and only tasting of mild barley malt and caramel as the hops contents appear to be low. Low carbonation, short aftertaste.
