COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Colour and sight: Dark brown-red. A compact white-yellow, stable and lacing head. Scent: Touches of caramel, mocha and chocolate. Spices such as liquorice and coriander are also present. Flavour: 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.

caesar (3944) - Bunnik/Utrecht, NETHERLANDS - SEP 4, 2002

Typical winter-brew. Ruby color. Dark spicy triple. I like the normal Delirium better.

jerohen (1863) - Bussum, NETHERLANDS - SEP 4, 2002

A dark version of the Delirium Tremens. Too bad it’s not an improvement. Sweet, with obvious alcohol presence.

estoppel (1028) - Buffalo, New York, USA - AUG 31, 2002

Medium tan head receding fast, dark brown body with hints of red, sweet slightly fruity nose with alcohol notes. Strong alcohol finish. Very sweet body, with brown sugar and ... Let’s just say it’s not two-dimensional.

Volgon (2761) - Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - AUG 12, 2002

33CL bottle: Pours a hazy brown-ruby color with a nice light brown head. Sweet sugary aroma, tastes sweet and of light fruits. The sweetness gets to be a bit much as the glass goes on. Like all the other beers these guys make, I won’t be having this one again.

Vac (2445) - San Diego, California, USA - AUG 11, 2002

The color is a delightful Deep red Brown, the head is thick with nice lace. the aroma is sweet with hints of banana, orange and other spices. The palate is dry and the flavor is sweet and malty.
