Very good and better than Nocturnum IMO. Not the best winter seasonal, but a damn good one to try.

Bottled: Amber coloured. Clear. Dense beige lasting head. Aroma of cocoa, spices and fruit. Flavour is spice and ALCAHOL. Very distinct alcahol. Body is full and quite complex. The beer ends with a delicious alcaholwarmth, that last for quite some time. This is a nice one.

This brew pours with a slightly cloudy amber body wtih a thick head and a good amount of lacing. The aroma is sweet and malty with nice spicy notes and a little candy sugar. The flavor is slightly sweet and spicy with a malty note and a touch of candy sugar. Full bodied and slightly dry.

Spicy fruity flavor. Another great ale from the Hughe Brewery.

2007 Vintage. Cork "pop" was somewhat subdued but the beer was still well carbonated. Very dark thick amber with a fair soft head. Aroma of candy sugar, caramel and alcohol with some nice spice notes that register later. Tastes just like the aroma. Sweet, light syrup, caramel and soft spice. Just a bit of alcohol burn in the finish.

Dark amber color with a medium head. Nutmeg and cinnamon laced aroma. Orange flavor with a bit of yeast in the middle. A bit of malt and spices as well. Very nice!

A well aged corked bottle that I have had around for quite some time and just now got around to drinking, served in my St Bernardus chalice, some cork leakage detected on the bottle:

Displays a deep bronze hue with a quickly disappearing fizzy head but traces of carbonation still come forth, leaves a oily film on the glassware. The aroma has notes of ripe apricot and fig, juniper berry and light coriander, caramelized and bready malts, honey and other earthy and vinous esters. The taste starts with sweet ripened fruits and heavy malting with an interesting twang on the sides of the tongue that is both spicy and even a bit salty. There is a bit of sherry like note giving a vinous quality to the finish. While the beer is warming, it is not powerful and seem to flame out at the end. The aftertaste had both lingering white pepper and honey notes. Smooth and lush but much like the taste it falls just short of a knockout. Aging may have mellowed it out too much, I don’t know. My least favorite of the three Delirium releases but still worthy of another try .
