Delirium Noël

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

this beer is beautiful! So many delicious flavours...WOW..what a nice first sip...sweet and fruity, god, so damn delicious!! ...smooth...this is a new favourite at christmas time!

Outstanding. Simply outstanding. It’s only a shame that it’s hard to find this beer off season. It reminds me a lot of Rochefort Trappistes 10, only considerably cheaper (and it’s not cheap).

This 18 dollar bottle was well worth it. It has a heavy sweet flavor and a lot of alcohol, but you cannot tell. The bottle is very cool, painted glass.

Lovely brew. Good color almost an autum orange. Good feel, not to much. Not to much spice. Great smell like a belgiam would. Great brew.

Presentation: It was poured from a painted "stone" bottle into a tulip glass. The sample size was 750ml bottle with a freshness date on the label. Appearance: The body has a deep, slightly reddish amber color. It has a slightly hazy appearance with some streams of very tiny little bubbles rushing up to the head. The head is tall, light tan in color and slowly fades leaving little to no lacing behind. Smell: The aroma is big and full of sweet malt and fruity notes. Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor is big and full of fruity notes inside a deep, sweet malty base. Flavor notes of tropical fruit like papaya, pineapple, and guava pop out of the sweet malt, no doubt full of Belgian candi sugar. Yeast adds some funk and alcohol is also present in a mellow warming way that adds another nice level of complexity. There is even a slight leafy hop note than brings a hint of bitterness at one point before being surrounded by everything else. Its mouth feel is big, smooth and well rounded. Carbonation is soft and its body is a solid medium to full. Notes: This is a wonderful and very enjoyable beer. Very well done, cheers Delirium Noel!!!

deep golden with a nice white, creamy head, low carbonation. caramel, toffee and spicy alcohol dominate the aroma. tastes like tremens with a more pronounced toffee flavour. mouthfeel has that highly carbonated fizzy sensation on the tongue, soft at the back of the mouth with the ever-present alcohol spiciness that always accompanies a beer of this strength. overall this is a very enjoyable beer that reveals more secrets as it warms in the palm of your hand, like a tremens that has been boiled longer to get a nice caramelised toffee flavour from the malt.

Very nice, sweet and soft, but very strong, nice prcentage and is not tiring in alcohol flavor, I am glad I found it.

Delirium Noël, is the best cristmas beer i have tasted, and one of favorites in general. The best thing to doo with this beer is to save it for at least two years.
