3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Black red color. Fat head lasts to the end. Fruity, spicy, dirty, nose. Vanilla spice flavored, kind of sour. The tremens is much better.

This ale rates with the best. Great dark color with a huge head that leaves lace clinging to the sides forever. The aroma is intoxicating and complex with earthy fruits, sweet, malt, and a hint of spice. The taste matches the aroma perfectly and maintains the same flavor throughout the bottle. A great beer that deserves a better rating than what it has.

Prefere the dilerium tremens, but still a pretty good beer

This is the brewery responsible for Florisgaarden Chocolate Gardenbier, a brew that apparently only I can tolerate. In contrast, the Nocturnum has a fairly strong touch of alcohol and sweetness. Pretty good. Better than Tremens.

Not bad spicy and fruity flavor. I prefer the Tremens more than this one.

Yowza!? This one had a sticky residue on the inside of the bottle cap. Despite my fears, the beer came out great. Strong vanilla spice/fruity notes, almost like a holiday cake. That’s a good thing.

UPDATED: JUL 26, 2004 Cloudy, dark beer, with a lasting head. Malt and sweet smell. Spicy and even a sweet, though well-balanced taste. Smooth palate.

This is a pretty strong beer, however, it’s rather tasty.

Deep dark and handsome is the pour, the head is commodious, the lace clings nicely to the glass. The first snaffle is malt, bubble gummy, fruity, sweet and oh ’Hell Yes Baby, Sniffable. The beer commences with a lightly sweet malt taste, the top is squinny, the finish is moderately carbonated, dry, lightly hopped, quite a drinkable beer. Ranks #351 on my current 1000 beer list.
