Inferno Ale by the Lost Abbey

The epitome of dismay, the penance of regret. For those who have committed vast amounts of ill will have to someday pay the price. This is Inferno Ale at 8.5% ABV by the Lost Abbey rating at 8.5% ABV. It is a Belgian strong golden bready ale. Reminds me of Duvel Ale but well…more bready than pale.

The Lost Abbey label States:
=============================
Corruption, Greed and Lust, they’re all represented on the hooks 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.
=============================

So what is beer like if it comes from hell? Well all I can say is smells like delicious Belgian bread. Glazed with honey and hops. Has that Unibroue Maudite sweetness as well. Lemon, tangerine, banana, burnt caramel sugar, Pan Dulce, cinnamon, grapes and pear. It hides alot of the alcohol. The Killers song says “They say the devil’s water it aint so sweet, you don’t have to drink right now. But you can dip your feet, every once and a little while.” I don’t know about not being sweet as this is really sugar bread/Pan Dulce sweet. True that about trying these things every once and a little while though. Like all beers, they should be cherished and drank in moderation. Belgian Beer lovers should not pass this one up, it is friggin awesome :O!!… HELL—- YEAH!!!B-/
