Initital metallic taste followed by a high-quality spicy ale like only the Belgians can do. Nice alcohol burn for those who dig it. This stuff is on par with Bernardus 8.

Pours orange brown with a quickly dissolving bubbly head. Aroma of sweet malt, bread and cherries. Taste is sweet sugary, light candies, some brown sugar, caramel sweet malt

On tap at the Happy Gnome. Pours a nice amber color. The nose is rather spicy; cinnamon, nutmeg and a touch of cloves. Wonderful mouth feel with moderate carbonation, With a nice warming finish to holiday spice.

330ml bottle - - Poirotti Kallio, Helsinki
Deep red, thin head. Apple and spicy pie aroma. Slightly gluey taste, and obviously packing a punch. Decent hoppiness, but cannot punch through the alcohol and glue. However, it is still very tempting. Very strong pear esters towards the end. Prefer the ordinary Tremens.

Rerate, one-year-old bottle (previous rating: 7 4 6 3 13)
Nice fruity aroma. Winey aroma when poured, later spicy and a bit pie-ey, even cakelike, also. Smooth palate. Sweet toffee. Cakey, spicy, and fruity, with a hint of almond and woodiness in the finish. Quite a hoppy finish, actually..

Sweet syrupy nose with some spice. Orangey color and soapy head. Fruity tart nectar with some cinnamon, mild bitterness, maybe some sour notes. Full body, big carbonation, finishes with a deceptive burn and floral spice. Very clean tasting Belgian Strong. Seems focused, yet playful.

Bottle. Another interesting and complex beer from delirium. Tastes mainly of bread and sweet fruit with raisins. The interesting part of this beer was at the finish where I detected a distinct peppery finish. Must have been the yeast used. Very unique, kept me interested the whole way through. You have to try this brew atleast once.
