Closeup to the bottle & History

The Belzebuth brand has a rich history that intertwines with the evolution of its brewery. The brewery was originally founded in 1899 by Henri Vandamme and Pierre Hovelaque and underwent several name changes and ownerships before becoming Les Brasseurs de Gayant. The name "Belzebuth" was chosen to reflect the beer's strong character, reminiscent of its high alcohol content and bold flavors. Introduced in 1997, Belzebuth was created to compete with other popular beer brands, aiming to capture the interest of younger drinkers with its potent profile. The recipe has been adjusted over time to make it slightly lighter, yet it remains a beer of formidable strength.

The Taste

This beer is different. Not only the red color but also the taste. It's sweet but not too sweet. I sipped myself through the beer and liked it more and more.

Beautiful fruity aroma, no head at all. The taste is sweet with no bitterness. The color is a dark copper color. Unfortunately, the beer is only available seasonally and may be less so because of shipping and import. Despite the sweet flavor, the ABV is high, off-setting the sweet appeal so that the drink might appeal only to the ladies. My first opportunity will be to return to market and horde a supply of entertainment and pleasure.
