Delirium Nocturnum

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

Bottle last night from Total Wine. And another great one. Dark, dark brown pour with a fair sized head. Aroma of dark dried fruit, syrup, sugar, sweet malt and some sweet bready scents also. Flavor is rich, powerful and sweet. Smooth and full bodied. Underrated for sure.

Bottle at Abbey Brewing in Miami Beach. Permanent head. Very dark mahogany, almost black. Dusty light malt nose hints at alcohol and fruit. Tasty dark malt. Notes of alcohol and fruit. Light body.

Bottle from De Bierkoning @ home, ABV 8,5%. Beautiful dark brown colour with a red hue, off white/tan head. Sharp aroma of sour dark fruits, like plums and some forest fruits, malts and brown sugar. Flavour is sweet-sour fruits, alcohol, malts and some brown sugar. Slightly bitter finish. Thick and prickly mouthfeel.

This is my favorite of the three Delirium beers. This one’s a nice honey brown color that smells and looks great. It has a big head so pour carefully. It’s nice and sweet with a fruity flavor that you can’t miss. At 9% ABV, you won’t feel it until you try to walk around. It goes down VERY smoothly! It’s one you must try!

Bottle. Pours a deep amber/red color with a thickish off white head. Aroma of fruit, malt and yeast. Tastes initialy sweet and finishes a bit bitter.

lots of fruity sweetness in the aroma, an interesting sweet/bitter finish. ok overall

Aroma: very subtle, almost too much so. Appearance: head comes out nice, but lacing doesn’t last, very dark honeyed brown color. Flavor: there are a lot of different things going on, there are dark fruits, some honey, quite a bit of bitterness, but something tasts slightly off. Palate: definitely hides the alcohol well, i believe with sweentess. style is thin, but overall a pretty good representation of the style.

This one is not as good as the others, the bitterness is unpleasant and their is a soy sauce like saltiness to it. Not my favorite
