A delicious dark ale, albeit a tinge too sweet, even for this sweettooth. Dark fruit and vanilla. Love the bottle.

Dark pour with a frothy nut colored head. no real lace. nutty flavor mixed with a slight metallic flavor and a very apparent alcohol flavor. The palate has a metallic finish with slight alcoholic flavor.

Another delicious entry from Delirium. Dark and surprising with a tart kick and a sweet middle.

Dark amber color with a lively head which went away quickly. Rich dark fruit aroma and sneaky alcohol presence. I like it more than tremens because of the more balance phenolics.

Bottle. Dark amber color. Big foamy head that goes away fast. Dark fruit aroma and vanilla flavor. Nice mix of dark fruits and spice, alcohol is well hidden.Ends up being a little too sweet, but still a great one.

Bottle. 11.2 oz. Split this bottle with Braden to christen my Tremens glasses. Pours hazy amber with a smooth, beige head. Aroma of raisins, figs, honey, barley, yeast, bread, and hints of banana and soil. Warm, soft moutfeel with a sturdy body and nice, easy finish. Great Belgian strong.

Very dark beer with a medium beige head. Aroma is groundy, with hints of red wine. Flavor is bitter and sour, reminiscent of chocolate with sour cherries. Nice beer, although not that special.

On tap in LA. Pours mud brown with a big white head. Sits pretty in a delirium snifter! Aroma is quite strong of toasted nuts and caramel. Flavor starts with a nutty, milk chocolate flavor, and moves towards dried dark fruit. The middle and finish of this beer, however, emerge disappointing. There is this earthy, almost minerally and sugary flavor present that I find quite striking, and not entirely pleasant. I can’t quite place it, but a big gulp of Nocturnum will most certainly reveal this same flavor. Perhaps it is the alcohol bitterness blending unsatisfactorily with the chocolate and nuts. Overall, yes this beer is obviously drinkable, but it’s really not up to par with other similar Belgian strong dark ales.
