Commercial Description:
Horny Devil (formerly known as Belgian Strong Ale) is inspired by the curious beers produced by Trappist monks in monasteries across Belgium. The beer's dryness and strength are the result of a unique Trappist yeast strain in a warm fermentation. These attributes are subtly masked by the restrained use of premium low-alpha hop varieties. The malt flavors and fruity esters produced during fermentation create the initial impression, while authentic Belgian Candi sugar and fresh coriander add complexity to the palate. Appearance: Bright amber color, nearly orange, and good head formation and retention when properly served. Appealing Brussels lace. Flavor: Intriguingly complex. Starts with flavors of fresh coriander and characteristics of Trappist yeast, then fades to a nice, dry finish. Light on the palate but exploding with flavor. Aroma: Vinous aroma with a heavy dose of coriander and fruity esters from the Trappist yeast. Mouthfeel (body/texture): Light-to-medium body, with warmth from the high alcohol content and a clean, dry finish.

An unclear red-orange beer with a disappearing white head. The aroam is very fruity combined with notes of raspberries and brettanomyces. The flavor is sweet with notes of wood and raspberries - the alcohol tickles the tongue, but can’t be tasted.

(Bottle 75 cl) Unclear, dark amber with floating, tiny impurities. Small, off-white head. Distinct alcoholic nose. Very full body with plenty of caramel. Somehow appears a bit stuffy and perhaps over the top. Sherry accents in the finish that has no real bitterness. 270106

Bottled. Hazy pale amber. Honey aroma. Sweet with some butterscoth and syrupy almond. Rich soft maltsleads to a grassy finish. Flavourful, but the sweetness overpowers a lot of the good stuff beneath.

75 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a lacing white head. Aroma is coriander and yeasty spiced with a dry caramelish malt base note. Flavour is mild citric with a distinct coriander spiced accent. Mix between spiced dry and mild caramelish sweet into a lasting spiced accent on the back of the nose.
