dark brown color and with a light brown head. good fruity notes in the flavor and a long lasting spicy aftertaste

11.2oz bottle. Thick unfiltered burgundy brown. Luscious roasty beige head. Sweet aroma, a hint of sour...suspiciously past it’s prime. A touch too sweet and perfumy to be a true Dubbel. Soapy, not really classically "hoppy"/ Sweet, mild tartness. Very unique. Mellow carbonation, despite the visual effervescence. Sugary raisiny dark fruit. Strong, but doesn’t nail you with the ABV outright. Drinkable. Quite nice.

Bottle. Love the style of these Delirium beers. Nocturnum pours out ruby red with a tanned, creamy head. Aroma of plums, ripe fruits and alcohol. Taste is alcoholic sweetness, together with some caramel tones. Really ok for such a high alcoholic beer.

Nocturnum kaatuu lasiin tummana ja punertavan ruskeana. Tuoksu on karamellimaltainen ja metsämarjainen. Olut on maultaan makea, hedelmäinen ja paahtunut. Jälkimaku on kuiva. Hiilihappoja on reilusti, hieman jopa liikaa tähän olueen. Delirium Nocturnum on loppujen lopuksi maukas, mutta ei huippuolut.

330ml brown bottle with ceramic paint over top. Label states this is 8.5% abv. Red brown pour, head is tan, quite creamy, tight bubbles, lots of messy lace on the glass. Some particles in suspension. Nose has a lot of dark malt, dryish and chocolatey. Taste has dryish cocoa malts and finishes with some roasty notes, light alcohol and some yeast. Lively, fine bubbled carbonation, medium body. Nice.

1. Look – A brown color ale with a medium brown tan head. 2. Sniff – It has a very fruity nose and aroma. 3. Sip – This full bodied ale is very malty and has a somewhat apple taste. 4. Another Look – This is an average ale with weak lacing. 5. Evaluate – Overall, this malty ale with a fruity yeasty flavor and the alcohol is disguised well. I would not recommend this ale to my family and friends –only those who enjoy Belgium ales.

Bottle. Dark reddish brown with a big beige head. Aroma is sweet, of fruits and caramel. Flavor is quite fruity, with hops as well. Dry finish. Medium bodied, well carbonated.

Pour is a deep cola brown with a small tan head, blubbly like soda, though more lasting. Nose is of dark fruits, clearly brewed in the dubbel style (variation of a belgian strong ale). Taste is of a dark fruits, and malt dominated as one would expect.
