Gayant Bière du Démon

Rather well-aged bottle Well carbonated, old gold coloured beer; fluffy, stable white head. Vaguely nutty, cervil or parsley aroma, something salty as oyster juice, delicate for such a massive beer. Sweet taste, cookies & nutty, candy sugar abundant in the finish, even syrup. Not delicate in any way any longer. Yet some whiffs of a good, but very sweet brandy-based liqueur. Thick, syrupy MF, though not unpleasant. Age as done marvels for this. It has rounded most of its raw, sharp, uncouth edges - though it couldn’t cure all the sugar...

There won’t be positive things to say about this garbage. I bought a bottle at my local BevMo, and after laughing at how little I got (I thought my fridge had frozen the bottle and some was still inside), I wish I had bought badger piss because that about what it tasted like (althoughI must admit I’ve never imbibed on badger piss thank God). Absolutely no redeeming quality of this crap (I can’t even say the aroma was pleasant), other than the fact it’s got an incredibly high alcohol content and you can taste it in every sip. Stay away and buy something worthwhile. Hell, buy a Budweiser if you have to just stay away from this stuff

The Demon’s beer? According to the label it had some potential, but in reality it truly is a Hell-born evil. The body is of that clear pale orangish yellow reminding of the bodily fluid. At least it gets a point for the foamy white head that seems to be an exception among lagers of its caliber. The nose reminded me that I should really have done my research on this one. Strong cloying alcohol syrupiness emerges with a blend of manure, wet straw and urine. Some salty sausage appears and wheat, orange and honey form the better aromas, and believe me I really tried to focus on those. The flavor is completely dominated by the strong alcohol content. A sweet syrupy flavor is also apparent, and with some effort corn and orange. Somehow the alcohol becomes even more prominent as the beer warms especially in the aggressive and metallic aftertaste. Not very good, but not too skunky and will get you buzzed real quick if that’s what you’re looking for...

Bottle. Pours amber/dark orange with a rapidly thinning white head. Strong aroma of manure - I was rating it with a mate and it was funny to agree that it *literally* smells like shit. Hints of bread and yeast if you try really hard, as well as wet straw and salami. There is something sickeningly sweet about the smell of this beer. The flavour is equally bad, with ethanol being the first thing I tasted, and the mouthfeel was like having a cheap vodka shot. My tongue went blissfully numb after half the bottle and I decided not to finish it.

33cl bottle. Golden with thin white head. Nice mix of hop and golden syrup, good in mouth. More sweetness from alcohol whilst more dry hops kick in on the end

This is not anywhere near my made up category of Continental Strong Lager, because my category is tasty. This was sickingly sweet, so much so that it had me getting all mucusy and all.

Bottled. A weak-gold coloured lager with a little white head. The aroma is malty and alcoholic but thinner than I’d have thought. The taste is grassy lagerish but with a lighter fuel like alcohol burn. Harsh and industrial and not too good.

Golden color. Very thin head that dissappears quickly. Taste gets a bit better as times go by. Artificial taste at the beginning. Oversweet. Not my kind of beer.
