<i>From a 750mL Bottle.</i> Somewhat hazy, chestnut shell colored pour with a tall head of fizzy light beige. Aromas of pear esters, raisins, cherry licorice, and some sweet toffee malt. Hints of banana and even some herbal hints of the peel. Light bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel with a soft, almost chalky texture. Flavors of toffee, light toasted malt, and raisins up front on the palate, followed by a drying nutty bitterness. Finishes dry and toasty, with a lingering alcohol warmth. Hints of bubblegummy yeast. Nothing off-putting, but I’m just not that enamored with the flavor complexity or yeast characters.

Dec 1, 2008 Bottle. Very interesting beer. The nose smelled like banana and raisins. Some notes of strawberry and vanilla maybe. Tasted much of the same with a lot of malt sweetness. Rounded out by a very mild hop finish. A bit yeasty at the end too. My first brew from Delerium, hope to try more. A good Belgian.

Nov 29, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Easy drinking. Looks like some Coca-cola in the pour. Fizzy as hell. Kinda detracts from the flavor, which is very nice, and mellows out nice and sweet in the finish. Pretty good.

Nov 29, 2008 Pours slightly hazy red/brown with a decent off white head. Aromas of caramel, chocolate and some dark fruit. Palate is malty with underlying raisin and clove characters. Finish brings alcohol and yeast driven spice that serves to balance the caramel malt.
