Delirium Noël

Brewed by Brouwerij Huyghe
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Melle, Belgium

This is a surprisingly good Belgian. On tap, hard to tell what color it was due to poor bar lighting. It was dark copper maybe. Has a great aroma of hops and yeast. First Belgian I’ve had that you can actually taste some hops. Quite tasty. Gets ya drunk...(RERATE) Had it again out of the bottle and it still rocks. This is like Belgian Strong meets IPA. I can’t get past this. ps. you get one hell of a buzz if you take on a 750ml of this.

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.

Sweet apple peary aroma with slight sharp vinous esters. Taste is the same with belgiany spice. Well and subtly carbonated, and some astringency and fusels come through in the finish. $10/750

bottle poured an amber in color with a thin white head and light carbonation pooling at the center. aroma of sweet dark fruit, brown sugar, light yeasty funk, plumb, and some spicing. mouth feel is medium with a heavy coating. flavor comes on with a nice malt, heavy sweetness, molasses, dark fruit, yeast, and spicing. has some alcohol heat and the spicing is high.

2000 750ml grey bottle with pink Elephants pulling santas sliegh, pours a bright cloudy reddish-orange color. Fruity aroma of pears and tropical fruits, small bubbly head, bready, spicy fruity apple flavors, soft and full palate, nice lasting finish, very well hidden alcohol at 10%, warming feel, a great winter ale.

Bottled. Clear amber colour, big head. Aroma consists of spiciness, fruits, mainly strawberries and apples, and alcohol. Spicy, fruity and pretty alcoholic. Slightly sweet and caramelly. Ends bitter and lasts quite a while. A bit too heavy on alcohol for my taste, but actually very nice.

] The color is a clear deep copper with just enough cream-colored foam to cover the surface of the beer. The head then recedes to just a ring, which produces moderate lacing. There is a medium maltiness in tha aroma, with some toffee and a definate strong alcohol scent. The flavor is sweeter than the aroma suggests, with more toffee, dry stone fruit, and raisin. A mild spicy presence rounds out the finish, I’m guessing a combination of spices, hops, and the yeast produce the effect.. The body is medium, with very gentle carbonation. I would have liked more dark malt flavor. Alcohol is prominent in the aftertaste.

<rating #100> Clear brown with a nice dense white head. Very nice vinouse sweet fruity aroma of plums and prunes. Intense flavor which triggers all your taste buds, soft silky mouthfull with a warm alchohol finish that tickles in your nostrils and lingers on in your throat. Can really feel the alchohol, but not taste it
