"Appearance: Cloudy (from escaped yeast) and pale. A grande creamy, chunky head adorns the top and sticks with great stay. The colour and head are perfection incarnate. "Smell: Delicate spice, pepper and clean malt sweetness. "Taste: Smooth and extremely creamy on the palate. A lively carbonation creates a light mouthfeel and crispness. Upfront flavours are bitter and sweet, with a lean on the sweet; distinct fruity malt esters, bold spiciness and rind-like twang that mellows and balances. Finishes slightly grain/dry with some residual spice and dextrin notes. "Notes: Deceivingly seductive and powerful. It lures you with mesmerizing eye candy, then as the absolute refresher, then whacks the shite out of you with an 8.5% abv club. It's not called the 'Devil' for nothing. One of the best beers on the face of the Earth. Bow down to this god of beers." —Todd Alström, BeerAdvocate
