3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
From a bottle at Fire Works in Arlington VA. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Sour cherry aroma. Flavors of licorice and red fruits.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a hazy brown with a pretty puffy tan head. Aromas of apple juice, some spices. Taste is sweet, not to the point of cloying, but almost. No real hop character. I can appreciate this for what it is, but its not my favorite. Finishes sweet with a slight hint of alcohol.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Delirium...delirious. Had it first on tap at Eulogy in Philly then in bottle from the Fridge in Lancaster. Very complex in taste to the point that it’s beyond my expertise to rate. Great belgian that will mess you up!
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Slight citrus nose, dark copper pour with sediment in suspension. Great lacing and alcohol leggings on the glass. A true Belgian in my view, extremely well balanced.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bold throughout. Starts off spicy and fruity but transitions into a more malty & bitter taste towards the end. Great cold weather beer.

Caramel, chocolate, coffee, toast, roasty, alcohol, woody, smoke, raisin, leather, fermented 3 times wither the last one within the bottle, it has 5 kinds of malt and 3 yeast, it goes very well with red meats
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
A - Pours dark brown with ruby edges. 1 finger of cream colored settles down to form a wide collar.
S - Tart apples/cherries, brown sugar, spiced candy, sharp alcohol vapors.
T - Bartlett pears and pomegranate dominate the mix of fruity malt. Cocoa beans soaked in booze, brown sugar, unknown spices, peppery hop bitterness on the finish. Some vanilla/sarsaparilla type flavors on the aftertaste.
M - Heavy carbonation, light to medium bodied.
This is an interesting BSDA. It’s like they threw in the whole kitchen sink, all at one time. Some things seem to meld together, others don’t. Try it out for yourself.

4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Poured from bottle into snifter, surprisingly dark and quickly dissipating head. Aroma is like a smoky bubble gum?...very unique. Very soft in the mouth with a tapering aftertaste that’s...that’s......yum. This is sophisticated. I am impressed, big time. This may be my new late autumn, chiminea, steak grillin’, end of college football season brew. The pink elephant on acid is a little strange though. I think it would be more at home on blotter paper than a fine belgian like this. However, I cannot fault it given how delicious this is. Well done, my friends were right.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle with crowncork 0,75 ltr: Won it at the ZBF’13, Leuven tombola, dark brown/red coloured brew, with faintly sour start. Chocolate, roasted malts and fruity hops of taste.
4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Small bottle. Dark amber, moderate carbonation, some lacing. Very reminiscent of dried fruits and a bit of caramel on the tongue. A fruity sweet finish. No hop detected.
