Tap. Nice dark red brown body with a nice creamy head. Sweet aroma. Sweet flavour. A tad bitter and dry, which balances the sweetness to some degree. The alcohol is well hidden. (Delirium Cafe, Brüssel, 15.12.07)

Coppery redish hazy pour. Foamy thick head. Fruity herby scent. Sweet yet strong taste of fruts and tartness. Rasberry, citrus, banana and more. Citrusy orangy aftertaste. Extremely pleasant soothing taste. Warm slightly tart aftertaste, not at all boozy but definate warming alcohol feel.

Medium amber with offwhite head. Nose of apple cider, fruity and cakey, with some faint yeast and spice in the background. Flavor is again apple cider with other fruit, apple cake, and mild spice. Perfectly tart, with nice carbonation and a pleasantly sweet aftertaste. Quite enjoyable.

Pours orange with some floating sediment. The number one comment about this was, "It tastes like Christmas." Simply, there is a very unique set of spice that just remind you of a very strong fruitcake.

750mL bottle. Poured into Delirium Noel branded tulip glass, even! A pleasant opaque orange-amber appearance with noticable sediment, although very smooth once in the mouth. Three finger head with only slight lacing. The alcohol was definately noticable in the aroma and flavor, but the spices and fruity hints offset any harshness fairly well. Flavor spiced up noticably as the beer warmed.

Draft at Which Brew. Cloudy red brown body with thin head. Aroma is light fruits, yeast, spices. Spices were present in the flavor and at times dominated the taste. Light yeast and earthy notes noticable too.

This beer had a high-alcohol aroma and contained a lot of visible sediment. It had a hearty mouthfeel with a tart kumquat flavor. I drank this on Christmas eve, sipping it with my wife after the stockings were hung by the chimney with care. Used a stemmed, 6-ounce etched glass with a gold rim. Perfect for the occasion.

I am never really impressed by the delirium stuff but this one was actually pretty good. It had a nice belgian yeastiness to it with a little spiciness to it. Very flavorful and easy to drink. Alcohol wasnt all that noticable til the end.
