COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Corruption, Greed, and Lust. They’re all represented on the hooks of today. Tomorrow, they’ll be stinging Gluttony, Desire, and Sloth. Go ahead. Tell yourself you’re better than all of them. But you can’t. Hell can be funny like that. Down here it’s all just sin. Everyone here is screwed just like you. They don’t care who you sliced, diced, or cheated. No on is escaping this heinous place. Your roommate is an ax murderer. Eerily, he’s not threatening. How can he be? Here, the Fallen Angel owns your body, mind and soul. As such, no one can take your life. It’s already been taken. Or was it given? Neither matters. Did you seriously think you were living a virtuous life. At least Satan serves beer in Hell. He brews it himself right there in that flame stoked cauldron. Rumor has it the beer is straw yellow, bone dry and simply labeled Inferno.

Tried this bottle with a coworker on a business trip to California. Not "belgian" enough for me.

DiarmaidBHK (2268) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 5, 2013
Bottle from Al’s of Hampden. 2011 vintage. Been resting in my fridge ever since. Pours golden with an inch of white foam that leaves trace lacing. Some bready yeastiness on the nose. A bit fruity on the tongue, but as the description alludes, bone dry otherwise. It wears it’s alcohol well without any alcohol burn. Solid!

Lidt syrlig duft, vinagtig smag, bitter eftersmag, tør. Masser af kulsyre, lys gul farve hvis skum, som bliver hængene Free Føroyar!!!

annunz123 (629) - Taunton, Massachusetts, USA - APR 19, 2013
Sweet, flowery aroma. Flavor is sweet and fruity, with some flowery bitterness, a little sour, and a fair amount of alcohol in the finish. Good, but not great.

TEJA (1146) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - APR 19, 2013
Bottle from Systembolaget, Sweden. Tried 130419, Best before 111231. Big but short white head. Clowdy golden color. A bit of flowery perfume aroma, not strong but just right. Welvet smooth taste with small belgian phenols and sweetness and a finnishing balanced bitterness.

Kroney (91) - San Diego, California, USA - APR 8, 2013
Pours light yellow with a huge soapy head. Sour aroma with strong yeast and alcohol tones. Flavor is similar, but flat. Not one of my favorites from Lost Abbey.

Benzai (4329) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - APR 2, 2013
Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Clear light orange color, full sized creamy thick fairly dense white head. Smell malts, a slight sourness, fruityness of apricot and yeast. Taste lightly malts, fruits, orangepeel, alcohol, a slight sour touch and a bit yeasty. After a while some hops come through. Medium carbonation, full body.

DutchDrebus (2252) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - APR 2, 2013
Bottle @ benzai. Slightly hazy yellow with a huge white head. Smells alcohol, sharp, malts, heavy, some apricot. Tastes malty, heavy, alcoholic, slightly fruity (apricot). Quite a lot of carbo (makes me burp), feels heavy. Amazingly heavy actually.
