 Delirium (495), Santa Cruz, California, USA
Jan 20, 2008 Draught. Pours dark brown-black with a very small off-white head. Aroma is caramel, roast malt, alcohol, some dark fruits, and some earthy hops. Flavor is semi-sweet caramel, against roast malt and bits of fruit, plus alcohol and earthiness in the finish. Not too sure what to think of this one. It doesn’t quite have the strong malt character of a good bock, but it’s pretty interesting nonetheless.

Jan 2, 2008 Draught at the brewpub. Very dark body, with a small white film capping it off. Figs and alcohol in the nose. Lots of rich fruit in the flavour, along with caramel, hops and some spice. Really pleasant on the palate with a surprisingly crisp finish. A great seasonal.

Dec 25, 2007 Tasted on tap at Brewpub. This dopplebock pours a deep brown color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is roasty malts, caramel, spice and a touch of hops. A medium bodied dopplebock. The malts are caramel and sweet. The hops are earthy and slightly spicy. Very crisp with a nice mellow malt finish. Good balance. Nice carbonation. Nice winter beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly spicy and a touch sweet.
