Belzebuth
These crazy frenchmen and their extra-strong devil beer... Some people like to start their night out with a couple shots. Today I'm going with some Belzebuth. Pours a clear August-afternoon sunshiny amber with a small amount of head, about one skinny finger. The smell is all yeasty and fruity. I smell pear. Very sweet. The taste is very pungent, if a taste can be said to be pungent. Alcoholic and phenolic. Actually leaves a bitter taste for all that high-alcohol sweetness, but it's a phenolic bitter taste, and quite off-putting. Just doesn't taste natural to me. As it warms it becomes much more tolerable, but in the end, I was glad I only had 25cL of it.
