Corruption, Greed and Lust, they’re all represented on the books today. Tomorrow they’ll be stringing 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 one is escaping this heinous place.

Your roommate is an axe murderer. Eerily, he’s not threatening. How can he be? 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.

75 cl. bottle sampled @ Kraddel does 1K tasting. Procured by Kraddel. Cheers. Corked & Caged regular LA style. Golden orange amber with a very creamy, very big white head. Nose is big yoghurt BE yeast, quite sweet, white sugar & sweet spices, orange peel and some USA hops in the back. Taste is big sweet yoghurt yeast – almost reminds me of Stille Nacht – banana, sweet hay, white bread, sweetish spices, light herbs, lightly fruity with a touch of orange peel, small touch of hops. Very creamy yoghurt yeast body. One of the best USA made Belgian ales I have had. Lovely.

Purchased at Binny’s in Chicago, IL; enjoyed on a warm Sunday afternoon before a busy ore-vacation work week. Appearance is a bright cloudy gold with a rich and billowy white head that laces to the glass. Aroma is extremely unique, has a light flowery smell that is almost perfume like, but also has a sourness to it, part of me isn’t a fan of the smell. Taste is also very unique, clove and Belgian yeast notes come through, definite grapefruit notes, very peculiar brew.

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.

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.

Flaske fra Ølbutikken: gylden, lett uklar og med tett højt skum som raskt legger seg som en film. Aroma av belgisk gjær (+ litt brett?) og appelsinmarmelade. Lettdrikkelig for de som liker biere de garde og lignende. Bitterhet i retning av appelsin/grapefrukt men med noe maltsødme. Lett syrlig (brett?) men godt innenfor min komfortsone. Et deilig øl, må kjøpes igjen! 9% iflg. etiketten. Kjøpt i 2012.
