Vintage 2005. In the bomber bottle. Pours a reddish brown color with a yellow ocher head. Just a beautiful beer in the Tulip- walls of lace and contrasting colors. Aroma is fruity- D’Anjou pears and bing cherries. The malty sweetness is clear in the taste, but there’s enough tart bitterness to allow it. Slightly medicinal, but whoo boy, the big flavor here is a super strong cherry taste. The finish is at first a little bit smokey, but you can’t really tell after a couple of swallows. The residual alcohol burn lingers in the alimentary canal long after all other senses have subsided.

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.

Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. Hazy reddsih brown with a firm tan head. Black cherries, fudge, dates, figs, vanilla, white pepper and alcohol in the aroma. Figs, sweet cherries and toffee in the firm flavour, hints of pepper and apple-skins. Red fruit, pepper and alcohol in the aftertaste. Finally, a beer from Huyghe that I can enjoy.

Tasted this weekend, and as always Ilike anything Delirium!!! Dark brownish pour wtih a medium sized head. Smell is a malt-fest with booze and sweet fruit. Taste is sweet with some spice, yeast, dried fruit and a really nice mouthfeel. Bingo.

Bottle. Copper/amber colored beer with a big off-white head. Yeasty, malty aroma. Very rich malt and stone fruit flavor with lots of spicey yeast. Easy drinking for 10% and the alcohol is fairly well hidden.

Amber-caramel color. Aroma and flavor of caramel, spices and alcohol. Light to medium body, slightly liquorous texture, medium carbonation. Not bad but I expect more than that in a Chrismas beer.

Yeasty, fruity and sweet aroma, reminded me of the rochefort. Not as great though. Brown, cloudy coloured, lasting thin head. Sweet and malty flavour; spicy. Decent brew.

Thanks ilovedarkbeer for this one. Quite nice overall. Aroma of cinnamon, date, vanilla, alcohol, and dark sugar. Pour is a small, frothy, off-white head with fair lacing covering a dark orangee body. Taste is a nice strong Belgian with a salty, yeasty finish. Creamy body with a nice amout of carbonation. Clear alcohol warming on the finish.
