Delirium Nocturnum

Brewed by Brouwerij Huyghe
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Melle, Belgium

750 Bottle-Memphis. Raisons were the first thing that came through in the nose. Light body with medium head. Dry, tart finish. made me think of cherries.

pours crisp brown color with small head. tastes much like an american brown ale fermented with belgain yeast. very tasty and drinkable.

Poured a murky brown color with an off white head. Aroma i was of brown sugar, candy sugar, dark fruits and some spices. Flavor i was very dry dark fruits and some spices mixed in. Very dry flavor

Huge billowy light brown head that fizzles away quickly, leaves no lacing on the concave edges of my snifter. Solid, dark amber brown color. Sweet malty aroma or fruits and corriander. Taste is more spicy than sweet with a malty aftertaste, and a light airyness to its alcoholic hints. Mouthfeel almost reminds me of a pilsener, but once it hits the back of the tongue you experience a lovely transition to Belgian goodness. Sweet on the lips. Delightful.

Brown/deep red pour with foamy/soapy white head. Yeast, bread, and dark fruits aroma. Flavor is similar but heavy on the alcohol. Feel is syrupy and sticky as is the finish.

Pours a dark brown with a smallish head. dark aroma of malts and yeasty elements. flavor of same with dark fruits and more malts. decent body and balance. was expecting more from Huyghe.

Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of nutty, roasted and molasses, light herbs for the hops, moderate leather and light musty for the yeast, with cherry, wine nutmeg and apricot in the background and wood and vanilla on the second pour. Head is huge, frothy, white with good lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is burgandy and it has fairlt large particles swimming about. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is medium, oily and has a lively carbonation. It finishes metalic and has a moderate alcoholic and astringent feel. Unique in the fact that the roasty malt balanced well with the yeast component.

Appearance: Pours a rich, brown body with a small, creamy-looking, white head. Smell: Aroma smelling of toasted biscuits, caramel, a bowlful of candy, and a rather juicy fruitiness. Taste: Sweet toasty, even bready maltiness with a taste of caramel. Dark candi sugar sweetness present. There’s even a little bit of chocolate. Again, it has a prevailing fruitiness with flavors of lightly tart cherries and raisins. Hint of spice. Finishes sweet and cakey with a definite warming alcohol presence. Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium carbonation that’s a bit prickly. Drinkability: Fairly enjoyable. Another delightful member of the Delirium Family.
