Medium garnet color with an off white head. Cherries abound in the aroma. Slightly sweet, tart and sour all at once. Alcohol burn at the end of the swallow. Always a great holiday beer.

330 mL bottle- that’s right, I found the little version. Pours a clear, dark ruby with a nice tan head. Great lacing on this one and low carbonation. Aroma is of yeast, dark fruits, candy, cloves. Taste is medium to full-bodied. Starts fruity and spicy but ends with a sort of unpleasant mix of warming alcohol, spice, gingerbread, and sour apple. I guess this is what the Christmas version of Delirium should taste like. I would give it a 3.8 were it not for the pink elephant with a Santa hat on the label.

(Bottle on 2008-11-20) Ruby red colour. Small quicky disappearing fizzy head. Malts and caramel in nose. Fizzy and full bodied palate. Malts, sweetness, some bitterness, some dried plum and tip of cherry like flavours in taste. Bitterness and malts in aftertaste.

A hazy dark red colored beer, with a small beige head. The aroma is fruity sweet, cherries, raisins, with malts and a little hop. hints of spices. The taste is bittersweet. The flavor of fruits like cherries and peaches. There are hops with notes of caramel. At the aftertaste there are hints of alcohol with some bittersweet.

Bottle shared by robert at stateline. Light red/ruby color, ok head. Aroma was some spices, fruity and some malt. Wow...really impressed by the flavor. Super smooth. Lots of fruity spices, cinnamon, gingerbread, dark fruits, sweet candy sugar but all well balanced together. I will have to pick up a couple bottles for myself. Thanks Robert!
