Aug. 2010: 330 ml bottle, bought at Voldby Købmandsgård, Denmark. ABV is 8%, brewed by Het Anker. Very pale yellow colour, hazy in the end, huge white head. The aroma has notes of "Green Apples Shampoo", Belgian ale yeast and spices. The flavour is fairly refreshing for its strength and moderately spicy, notes of green apples again, also notes of white candi sugar and artificial candy, unpleasant soapy aftertaste. Overall disappointing.

Smell is sweet bread, caramel, sour cider, almost spoiled. Taste is muted sweet grain, hops and spice in the backgorund. Very drinkable, light and refreshing for an 8% beer (!!!) - that's the best thing I can say for it

Maybe a bad bottle...

Look - quite hazy pale yellow/orange...great retention...lots of foam...looks amazing

Smell - tart fruit, bread, mango, cracker, slight malt...nice aroma...some Belgian yeast

Taste - tart right of the bat - some honey, cracker, lemon/orange, some spices like clove and black pepper, hints of banana....decent Belgian yeast appears here and there

Feel - not quite up to the medium bodies level...a touch thin maybe... Stays active and still a nice mouthfeel

Overall - very good beer...I've seen this one around and had to try. Think it was $5 or so. I'll grab another one in the future. Pleased with this one.

See-through light yellow.

Nice off-white head; strong lacing.

Fresh bread nose.

Thin mouthfeel.

Corn and hops mark the taste; like a high quality lager! Good not great.

750mL corked bottled 3/11/16 (2.5 years ago) poured into a Duvel glass at 55F 8% ABV. The beer pours bright golden straw yellow with nearly white head. The head is prolific and eventually falls to a 1/4" cap and laces the glass. The aroma reveals honey, light malt, and subtle Belgian yeast. The taste is fruity and lightly clovey with very nice pils malt taste and a pepper lightly bitter finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with above average carbonation. No alcohol in the taste or aroma. Overall, very good. This is very nice all around. The feel, malt and yeast notes are well integrated and it's beautiful in the glass. This review has 666 characters!

Wow the head on this beer is like two inches thick and it takes a long time to dwindle. Never disappears completely. Golden yellow in color
Smell is somewhat fruity and estery and yeasty. Taste is also giving notes of banana and honey. Mouthfeel is medium thickness but lots of carbonation. Overall a decent beer but nothing stands out about it other than the fantastic name and label design! I love Satan so this is right up my alley.
