A hazy dark red colored beer, with a small beige head. The aroma is fruity sweet, cherries, raisins, with malts and a little hop. hints of spices. The taste is bittersweet. The flavor of fruits like cherries and peaches. There are hops with notes of caramel. At the aftertaste there are hints of alcohol with some bittersweet.

Bottle shared by robert at stateline. Light red/ruby color, ok head. Aroma was some spices, fruity, apple and some malt. Wow...really impressed by the flavor. Super smooth. Lots of fruity spices, cinnamon, gingerbread, dark fruits, sweet candy sugar but all well balanced together. I will have to pick up a couple bottles for myself. Thanks Robert!. Finally picked up a bottle for my self, I pretty much think the same thing.....good beer

Dark amber-brown body with a nice beige lacing head. Fruity, exciting spicy aroma of dried fruits (raisins, plum), roasted malts. Thick body, smooth mouthfeel with caramel, sweet candy sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and chocolate, fine raisins and plum, some gingerbread taste. Complex for your freaky christmas...

Cloudy amber with small flakes, beautiful lasting creamy off-white head. Aroma has raisins and figs, some spice and sherry. Somewhat sweet, fruity and spicy flavour. Too sweet for my taste, and not quite as complex as I would like. Disappointed my high expectations.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with Mabel and Jerc. Dark orange, small white head. Sweet candy sugar aroma. Good sweet boozy taste - lots and lots of alcohol. Good straightforward strong Belgian.

[1704-20080912] 11.2floz bottle. Perfumy malt and heavy grains aroma. Murky, dark orange body with a quick foamy light tan head and seriously big white floaties. Heavy yeast and sweet perfume malt flavour. Medium-full body. Nice, boozy, well-blended.

Pours a mahogany brown. Sweet dark fruit with a touch of bubble gum and noticeable alcohol in the nose. Light brown head with slight cloudy staying power. Typical holiday ale spice at the forefront, but with a nice sweet malt malt and lingering alcohol finish. Easily recognizable as a Delirium output, and a solid holiday brew for 2008.
