COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Available only in 50cl cans.
The Demon enriches its garde-robe with a dress of brushed steel. This new innovation from the Brasseurs De Gayant surfs on the fashion of 50cl cans and puts in the spotlight a diabolically tasty beer with 8.5° alcohol. Admittedly weaker than its 33cl bottle elder at 12° which holds the record for the strongest lager in the world; it kept all the flavor for even more pleasure.

Pours dark yellow with a big white head. Nose has pilsner malts characteristics, but it goes overboard. The ethers coming off this are similar to bourbon I have tasted. Also smells like something is spoiled. Taste is horrible. Sweet but at the same time it makes my mouth want to swear from feeling pure filth. It’s not good. Not at all. I dare say it’s hard for me to give mouthfeel a chance as I don’t want to taste it again. But, it’s somewhat smooth for a split second until the alcohol takes over makes you feel like you took a shot. It is what it is.

jaghana (2828) - Strasbourg (France), FRANCE - JAN 11, 2012
Bottle 33cl, a clear yellow beer with low head. Aroma is very bitter and dry (solvent like), low aroma, quite alcoholic and burnt caramel notes, very unpleasant and unbalanced, poor strong lager.

Aroma is old addict that stores fruit. And some dusty malt. Flavour is malty metallic, moldy fruit. Avoid.

Vaiz (2681) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - JAN 27, 2011
Can at cheap crap tasting session. Aroma is grains, some cardboard and some nice hops. Flavor is worse, dusty cellar with wet cardboard and some old pair of shoes. Terrible.

DeanF (1537) - Iqaluit, Nunavut, CANADA - DEC 13, 2009
Has a brownish-amber colour and an okay head, but that was only after pouring it quite aggressively. Aroma is hints of syrup and alcohol, you know, malts and stuff but it’s rather faint. Taste is an extremely strong mixture of syrup and alcohol, some tinniness, some bitterness. Nothing attractive at all about this one.

Gary (1132) - Rochester, Kent, ENGLAND - NOV 20, 2008
I only purchased it cause it was 8.5% & with weird pissed of looking gargoycle on the can. Thought it would be a bier de garde. Honey and and burnt caramel with too much sweetness. I got high of the petrol fumes in the aroma. I kinda enjoyed it . Keep your paper bag at hand.

ogreface (1089) - Budapest, HUNGARY - JAN 23, 2008
500ml canned. Francia La Démon dobozos sör 8,5 % alkohol!!! Szép színe van, az illata pedig előre vetítette a várható ízhatást. Gyümölcsös, az első kortynál egyből érezni az alkohol erejét és édességét. Később ez az édes íz átadja magát egy enyhe kellemes kesernyésségnek, és az alkohol kiszárítja és összehúzza a szájat. A felirat szerint "La biére blonde diabolique" Az erős sörök kedvelőinek kötelező!!!

Golden hue with a small foamy white head. Not much on the nose malty with a slight hint of citrus. Not much the taste either. Has a light malty flavour with not else. Only a slight touch of bitterness on the short after taste.
