Delirium Nocturnum

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

Not as good as the tremens. the palate is on the thin side, but there is significant malt sweetness, pears, and apple in the aroma. Flavor has some alcohol taste, and just a hint of yeast. Light brown color and a a large head.

Deep brown with creamy, huge tan head. Fruity, yeasty aroma with some deeper barnyard notes. Big mix of flavors with caramel malts, candied sugar, dark fruits and light chocolate. Thick and creamy with a sweet aftertaste. Overall, smooth, fruity-yeasty and a little smoky. Really interesting.

Wow talk about a head on a beer. The head towers out of the glass, I couldn’t even pour the whole bottle (33cl) with a medium pour. It has a great alchoholic nose with hints of honey and chocolate. The taste is a little dull compared to the nose with a little chocolate and malty sweetness attached, but little of the alchohol shows which makes it very drinkable. The color on this brew is quite impressive with a rich dark amber hue. The taste falls a little short as opposed to the nose, but a great brew nonetheless. This is a beer that I could drink more than one of and propably get into a little trouble with.

Deep deep clear red with a large fluffy off-white head. Aroma is crammed full of malty,zesty, dried fruits with similar spicy malty taste...nice.

prefered over Tremens. nice dark color, beigeish head. nots of fruit, spice and yeast. more robust, and flavorful, very enjoyable.

lightly hazy brown in appearance, with some ruby highlights at the bottom of the glass. Aroma is heavily spicy and yeasty, apple/pear/ lemon zest, as well as caramel and dark malts. Taste is basically about the same. Very strange, tastes like delirium tremens with some dark malts added to it. Carbonation is very lively and prickly on the tongue, which seems to take focus off of the darker malts in this beer. Not sure what to make of this....

Bottle at home. Dark brown color with a foamy and long-lasting head. Spicy and thick. Noticed dark cherry flavor and other fruits, as well as licorice taste. Ultimately I felt that the 9% wasn’t hidden well-enough and too strong in the taste. Enjoyable nonetheless. Extra credit for the groovy design.

Bottle: Light/medium brown color, slightly bubbly, off-white head is small, but thick and foamy. Nose is mostly yeast and fruits, some sweet malt. Creamier than expected, even though it was carbonated to a lively point. Fruity, yeast, wine, and some bitters in the tail. Alcohol was present, but not to intense.
