Delirium Nocturnum

Brewed by Brouwerij Huyghe
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Melle, Belgium

Bottle. Pours very dark for a belgium like coffee and a small head. Smells like ripe bananas and carmel. Tastes like ripe fermented dark fruit, like prunes, raisins, cherries, sub-tropical fruits and some hops. Some spicy notes and citrus are hinted. A little taste of roasted sugars or carmel is very present in the aftertaste. Very sticky mouthfeel.

Dark brown with some chunky floaties. Thin tan head, very thin fruity malt aroma. Taste is nice and full though, prunes, sweet malts.

Pours an opaque brownish red, with a thick lasting head. Fruity, yeasty aroma. Flavor is well-balanced with the belgian yeast smoothness balanced with a spicy subtle bitterness. Candy flavored finish, and an all-around pleasant belgian ale. Did I mention the bottle is cool as well?

One of the best beers I’ve ever had. Dark brown with a medium tan head. No bitterness, aroma of caramel. Worth the high price!

Nice brown color. Smooth malty flavor with a hint of caramel. Doesn’t have the bite you would expect from such a high alcohol content.

Poured a malty brown colored body with a small off-white head. Smell is unfermented malts and dried fruit. Hop scent is of orange blossoms. Taste is clean and malty with unfermented sugars. Sour hops are rosie and orange flavored on the palate. As I finish my glass I’m getting a hint of cherry wood like it was barrel aged in cherry. An excellent beer. Well made. Clean and smooth.

Brown in color with a good sized beige head. Aroma is of sweet malts, fig, and raisins. Taste is of yeast and malts, maple and nuts.

Pours dark dark amber, slightly cloudy. Giant, fluffy tan head. An amazingly drinkable beer, 8.5% alcohol hardly shows through. What you get are sweet malts, hops, spice and maple syrup. Clean (almost watery) on the palate, but still quite complex.
