Delirium Noël

Poured a deep chestnut color very thin creamy beige head. Smells very sweet. Full body malty somewhat peppery brew. Tastes very fruity almost cider like with a good amount of carbonation.

Aroma is strong, malty, with plenty of spice hints and even a bit of an odd, rubbery odor that still was not unappetizing. It pours out a dark amber-brown, almost the color of cola with a decent head. Flavor is strong and mouth-filling, malty and quite spicy, with a touch of hops. This ale is quite smooth but has a good bite to it.

Bright gold color. The aroma has fruit and yeast. Quite sweet, with more yeast, some fruit, and salt. Fairly simple, but very good flavor and aroma. Nice, well carbonated palate as well.

bottle. body is dark copper-red. Aroma is some fruitiness, taste begins as cigarette, but ends with some sort of fruit. Very Strange, not as good as i wanted it to be.

Good, a unique beer. Flavor is fruity and complex with some spices as well. Lightly carbonated and highly drinkable. The finish tastes like a cigarette, very strange.

Pours a ark blush color with a foamy head that dissipates into a lacing that lasts. Aroma consists mostly of cherries, honey and alcohol. Smooth creamy cherry taste with a decent alcohol presence and slight peppery finish.

The pour is dark copper with a small tan head. The nose dark fruits, spices and candy sugar and a hint of alcohol. The flavor is sweet at first pleasant on the palate and finishes with nice warming from spices and alcohol. Good seasonal beer.

This beer wasn’t the easiest thing in the world to drink, due to its spirit-like nature, but it was still pretty good. I’d have it again. This beer poured a brilliant tan color with a medium amount of head. Aroma was ethyl butyrate (cotton candy/bubble gum) and a surprising oak flavor. Flavor was pretty complex. At first I thought it was cognac-like with lots of alcohol. Later I got a smokey, leathery, peatiness that I’ve gotten from some single-malt scotches (my dad’s into scotch; I’m into beer). Mouthfeel was astringent and drying, most likely due to the pronounced alcohol presence. I felt warm when drinking it, but at the same time I felt it a bit challenging to drink...much like I feel about the scotch my dad is always trying to get me excited about. I’d recommend this beer, despite its challenges.
