    Light opaque golden yellow, white lacing foam head. Malty aroma, some fruit tones. Strong malt taste like most of these Belgium style beers, good beer. (Velp 201606)

    Cloudy yellow gold, tons of white cap, pretty good lacing as well and it foamed like crazy. The aroma is nothing all that interesting: yeast, biscuit, weak faceless citrus, light spice and quite fresh. Flavours of spice come in like a big wave and then it’s gone. This happens time and time again. Dull early, very tangy finish with dull yeast and white pepper. Soft carbonation, medium bodied even though the mouth feels seems thicker. Never once did I notice the alcohol. Quite drinkable mainly due to the fact that it is plain.

    Dammit beer just exploded out of the top of my bottle just like beercronic’s shorts explode after staring my hairy, hairy, hairy fur covered chest. Crap beer everywhere!!!! Hahah after me cleaning up for five min beer is still slowly bubbling out the top of the bottle. And now that I finally get to pour this into my glass there is almost no head to speak of. Body of the beer looks like cloudy motor oil. Aroma is yummy!! Mild spice, wood, apple, warm alcohol, grapes this is a yummy smelling brew. Taste is similar to the aroma (spice, wood, apple, warm alcohol, grapes) and leaves no lingering after taste flavour is very clean. Taste and body seem light for the style. Not nearly as good as others in the style but probly the easiest drinking one I’ve ever had.

    330 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. ABV is 8%. Golden colour, fizzy and foamy large head. Pleasant fruity aroma and flavour with notes of spices. Relatively light bodied for its strength, the alcohol is well hidden. Nice.

    Aside from the one-thousand-and-one different schwills `round the globe trying to copy BMC (+Heineken/Carlsberg, +Molson/Labatt, +Kirin/Asahi)...., it seems to me one of the most heavily copied/cloned commercial beers out there is Duvel. Just run a simple thesaurus script on the word "Devil", and see just how many hits end up being similar beers to Duvel. For example, Lucifer and Belzebuth immediately spring to mind. This one, with the not-even-subtle namesake of Satan, is surely another trying to cash in on the style- and trend-setting panache of Duvel.

    But like it's fellow devilish Duvel-clone namesakes, this has a hard time holding a candle to it's inspiration.

    Yes, it has the alcohol, make no bones about that one. Rather "hot" and a bit "burn-y" in the nose, and later in the mouthfeel. Some warmness going down the throat is welcome with a Winter Warmer, or a big Imperial Stout, or what-have-you. But with this sort of beer, the alcohol should be both noticeable, not a'burning all the way down the hatch...

    Along those same lines, the flavor of this sort of beer should be fairly dry, with the clean malt (+sugar in the boil) carrying the load. Not, as is the case with this one, rather thick and overly sweet, damn-near cloying. This isn't a nice and easy quaffer in your favorite quiet Belgian cafe, but a rough-and-tumble hardcore drinker for clubbing in an especially loud Bruxelles discothèque, that serves nothing but this, Jupiler, and the latest Mixed-Drink-Of-The-Week fad....

    This isn't horrible, per se. But if it wants to to try to emulate Duvel, it best bring the goods, or stay on the porch. For this is one dog that don't hunt, when it comes to Belgian Strong Pale Ales...

    Bottled. A bit hazy golden/orange colour with enormous longlasting white bubbly/foamy head, lacing. Bitter fruitish aroma with spicy and caramelly hints. Also a sting of alcohol. Flavour is sweet caramel with hints of vanilla. It gets a bit bitter and alcoholic in finish, but aftertaste is sweet candy. Hides alcohol pretty well.

    Sampled from bottle. Pours cloudy gold with a lasting, creamy white head and frothy lacing. Pears, citrus and floral hops dominate the aroma. Flavor is balanced with candi sugar, dark fruit syrup, pepper, banana and tart green apple. Medium-bodied, smooth and well-carbonated. A good beer, but not so much so that I'm compelled to run out and buy it again.

    Pours gold and very cloudy with debris with a dense, creamy head. Earthy malt comprises the base aroma while topnotes of caramel, exotic fruits, and spice abound. The taste is round and gentle, especially considering the strength of the beer. Flavor begins grainy, but light fruit (mainly apple), moderate spicing, and beercandy add complexity and define the character. Medium-bodied with effervescent carbonation; no warming effect really, but beware a definite alcohol bite to the swallow.

    The label on the bottle reminds one of Arrogant Bastard, but the beer itself is far from being one when it comes to excessive hoppage. Satan Gold has a nice white head that leaves about 2 inches of lace on top of a golden hue. Bold hoppy aromas blend in with nice citrus notes, but the scent is where the hoppiness stops until the finish. When you taste this fine Belgian ale, you will notice a fruit juicy like quality. This beer is not sweet, like your typical Belgian ale, but it does a tasty malt character to it, a la a German lager. Mild hops are prevalent in the aftertaste, but they are not harsh. I would definitely order one again, as long as my soul not be damned to eternal hell fire as a result.
