Delirium Noël

Had a fruity aroma with a hint of malt. Poured nice, cleansed the palate and went very well with a slice of Applewood Smoked Gruyere cheese. Great beer to enjoy on a cold winter night.

An unexpected, yet immensely appreciated gift from Donfardz64. Intense raisin and prune nose with a chocolate malt base. brown sugar, resiny hops. Earthy notes - wood and a bready yeast. Some alcohol in the aromas, along with cinnamon make this one quite like a fruitcake. The flavours are quite spicy. I find maple syrup, raisins, lots of toffee and caramel. Apple and cherry fruits, with raisin, prune and bready yeast. Candy sugar sweetness. Spice and alcohol penetrate every part of the nose, very nice. Quite medium bodied and the finish is mellow, long-lasting and relatively dry.

opaque light brown, medium tan head, lacy. nose of dried fruit, sweet malt, spice. flavor is is mildly sweet fruit, raisins, winey alcohol. medium bodied, a bit of a bite on tip of tongue, sweet fruity finish. 10% abv? merry f***ing chrishmas!

Sweet to taste, Reddish brown color. The head dissapated qiuicker than I thought it would. the alcohol wasn’t over-bearing. Lot of floaties in it. Sweet tasting.I bought two, will taste the second one next Christmas Holiday.

750ml bottle-pours a light tan head and dark amber with red color with small floaties. Aroma is medium/dark malt-toffee, some spice-nutmeg, herbal/metallic, dark fruit, yeast. Taste is medium/dark malt-toffee, some spice-nutmeg, herbal/metallic, dark fruit, tart/somewhat sour, yeast. . Thanks jwc215 for picking this out. At cellar temp 2.7 at room temp 3.2

Medium brown to a reddish hue with a foamy tan head. It is oddly calm when it comes to the carbonation. A below average appearance for a belgium style. A candied malt aroma with a touch of fruity raisin it can be ultimately summed up as a caramel apple aroma. A slight season of hops puts an end to the candy cornucopia. The tase is exceedingly sweet like corn syrup and not enough spice, hops, or alcohol heat to lighten up the taste. Because the carbonation is lacking the palate is too thick on the tongue leaving a sugar aftertaste. Not the cleverest belgium strong ale Ive had. It takes more than a cute elephant label and a funny name to become a classic.

Hazy, blood-orange, rich copper-amber color with lots of swimming yeast pieces. Small, good lacing creamy head. Sweet rich fruity, complex aroma. Reminiscent of strawberry candies with grapes, plums. Very sweet candiness/fruitiness dominate in the flavor. Rich caramel, molasses notes are also in inside. Very pleasant smooth mouthfeel with a touch of liqueur warming in the finish. Medium to full bodied, oily texture. Smooth carbonation.

Hazy brown to copper, small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, Belgian sugar, dark fruits and spice. Taste of dark fruits, Belgian and brown sugars, yeast and some zesty spices. I liked this one more than Tremens and would buy it again.
