COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Unfiltered Strong Dark Beer Dark brown-red colour. A compact white-yellow, stable and lacing head. Touches of caramel, mocha and chocolate. Spices such as liquorice and coriander are also present. Initially, a very good mouthfeel of alcohol and softness. This is followed by an increasing bitterness, partially from the hop, but also from the roasted malt and chocolate malt. Towards the end a nice balance between bitterness, sour and sweet.

SilkTork (7742) - Southampton, Hampshire, ENGLAND - APR 5, 2024
UPDATED: APR 5, 2024 April 2023. 330ml typical Delirium bottle, unfiltered, from LCB. I love the whole concept of Delirium and totally buy into it. I've been rather snobby about this beer over the years, and, yes, it's a little crude, but it's still a boozy, malty, tasty little beast that is great fun. Let it settle both in the glass and in the mouth before drinking. It's actually not that bad.... [3.0] March 2023. Belgium & Blues. Ok, but more of a fizzy cola than a beer. A bit disappointing. But OK. Does have that Belgian feel. [2.7] May 2004. The darker sister of Tremens. A fizzy brew with alcohol warmth, fruit cake flavours and some herbal sarsaparilla. For some reason I have the American 8.5% version complete with California Cash Refund stamped on the back. There’s stuff to like about this, but not a lot. The flavours swim around in a loose manner, completely unattached, while the mouthfeel is crude. Not a good beer. [2.4]

Learninbeer (1132) - Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA - MAR 28, 2024
UPDATED: MAR 28, 2024 The aroma is light Belgium yeast, caramel, spices coriander. Pours a dark copper brown with amber hues, and a big foamy light tan head, mostly diminishing. The taste is a little bitter and a little sweet, very nice. The body is medium, the texture is slightly fizzy, the carbonation lively. Very nice flavors going on, caramel, some light mocha coffee and light coriander.

UPDATED: MAR 20, 2024 Una cerveza con un color ruby tirándo a café, con una espuma generosa. Notas a café, frutos secos y caramelo. Un balanceo muy bueno en sabor.

Martinsh (2837) - Crewe, Cheshire, ENGLAND - MAR 17, 2024
UPDATED: MAR 17, 2024 On tap at Hops, Crewe. Pours a dark burgundy with a small cream head and good lacing. There’s raisins in the aroma alongside yeast and malts. In the mouth itis quite sweet with a chewy texture and flavours of dried fruit, yeast, chocolate and caramel. Plus hints of fruit peel and alcoholic strength. Some bitterness in a spicy finish. This is excellent !

10thlevel (252) - - MAR 10, 2024
UPDATED: MAR 10, 2024 Nalewa się z obfitą szybko opadająca piana. Barwa bursztynowa, właściwie prawie burgund. W zapachu jest bogato, nuty slodowe, nuty chlebowe i owocowe. Czuć lekko alko. W smaku jest w zasadzie bardzo podobnie, po za tym jest gładko. Alkohol doskonale ukryty. Doskonały balans pomiędzy słodem i goryczką. Jescze bardziej lubię Belgię. Po ogrzaniu dostrzegalnav lekka kwaskowość.

BreweryTickers18 (187) - POLAND - DEC 9, 2023
UPDATED: DEC 9, 2023 Średnie belgijskie ciemne - mocno alkoholowe i dobrze zakryte, jak to mieszkańcy Belgii potrafią. Ceny nie warte, etykietka, jak i butelką ciekawe, zasilające kolekcje hehe
