33 cL coated bottle (Delirium Christmas). Pours reddish, unfiltered with lots of sediment floating around and small, yet dense off-white head. Aroma is quite fruity, seems to hold some berry at first, followed by dried fruits and some yeasty complexity. I sense some woody notes too. Quite sharp flavour at first, spiced and with an alcohol edge. For every sip it goes slight more mellow providing a more balanced feel and flavour of cinnamon, slight citric notes, roasted malt, sugar and a warming alcohol finish and body. Nice.

Bottle @ Delirium Cafe, Brussels. Dark amber colour with small head. Aroma is hoppy with fruity edge / coriander / spices. Taste is light with some citrus / spice and slight alcohol. Beware of sediment.

Surprized I haven’t rated this yet. Sample given from a random friend at Churchill’s pub. Cloudy red orange. Strong banana notes in the smell. Maybe a hint of diacetyl. Fairly nice beer.

2006 bottle. very nice dark amber on the pour with a tiny head that hung out the whole time i drank my glass. smelled of hops and fruit. actually very light on the palate with a strong alcohol taste that didn’t really overpower too much.

Bottle, dark reddish color, lots of head. A bit less flavor than tremens, but with more alcohol. Great to try but not as good as tremens.

Labled as "Delirium Christmas," though I believe it’s the same beer. Hazy, brick red in color with a large, off-white head. Aroma is very nice. Sweet, spicey, caramel, fruit, coriander, and citrus. Medium body, watch out for the sediment. Malty, spices, yeast, fruits, and alcohol. Finishes with a nice bite, and noticeable alcohol. Exceptional.
