Corruption, Greed and Lust, they’re all represented on he books 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.

Golden honey color with moderate carbonation and sparse lacing.
Classic stylistic piney hop/malt sliage aroma with mellow yeast and spicing of orange zest and coriander. Some oily caramel malt as well-nice!
Citrus works with ample carbonation, yeast electricity and piney hops to make a very bright tasting ale. Quite complex, the beautiful chemistry working here, zest included.
Even-keeled mouthfeel from start to finish-oil, sweetness, yeast and carbonation in sync and all get better with a little warmth.
Shouldn't session this but I definitely cod-great stuff.

Inferno pours golden color little with a small head. Very spicy aroma. Taste is spicy, and bitter. Good body and feel. Overall a stronger beer of this style, more on the bitter end.

Pretty fitting name because this beer is hot. Lots of yellow color and plenty of haze, big time carbonation and head formation, solid 1". Aroma was alcohol almost exclusively.
Damn, a little sweet, but a lot of hot alcohol. Such an "inferno". Clove. Not as dry as the commercial handjob would lead you to believe. I dunno, mouth feel is too carbonated, too hot, (too hot baby, gotta run for shelter. . . ) too much yeast/clove/spice rack.
One of the lesser Lost Abbey beers.

Active bottle foams upon popping of the cork. Yeast and citrus fruit dominate the aroma. Pours with high bubbly, foamy head, cloudy pale golden body. Taste is mostly grapefruit and citrus, list and bubbly mouthfeel, effervescent , some yeast on the finish.

A slightly muted amber color with an extremely carbonated fluffy white head. Smells of green apples, yeast, and champagne. Taste follows and lingers with the slightest funk and alcohol presence and warmth, then finishes very dry. Cheers!
