From the brewer

We host the annual X-BREW home brewing competition, and one of the many perks for us is that we get to pick one of the entries to “go pro.” We chose a Belgian golden strong ale from a panel of many great entries, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out it was brewed by High Frequency Society member Dioni Morales. Many breweries include references to the devil in the name when they brew this type of beer, referring to its potent alcoholic strength and as a tribute to the original example (Duvel). We uphold the tradition, while simultaneously honoring the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll and Dioni’s Spanish heritage, by calling this one “Diablo in Disguise.”

Who's been drinking this

Light cereal body with a light sweet followup. Clean finish with a pleasing follow through.
A light hint of clove and a rounded banana-not-banana-bread flavor open this light, easily drinkable (even at 7+%!) Belgian. I don't know if the yeast they use for this is related at all to the regular house yeast, but it has a similar kind of tanginess, and this beer finishes a lot like the Pils, with clean cereal notes.
