Delirium Nocturnum

Pours with a good white head, large bubbles. Aromas of dried fruits,bubble gum, and yeast. Flavor was much the same with a little metlic flavor in there. A little thin in body and lacking complexity. A good beer, almost seems like an attempt of the Westmalle Dubbel but did not hit the benchmark. I did enjoy the drinkablity of it though.

bottle-pours dark brown with a tan frothy head alot of head.....aroma is very sweet and malty...tast is sweet like honey, brown suger and thers almost like a metalic tast....all in all that tast is good but i think it would be better on tap and not in the bottle due to the metalic tast i got from it.

I remember the first time i saw this Delirium and it’s partner [daytime??] Man i thought this is too weird, advertising alcohol withdrawal... I was sort-of scarred/embarrassed to even ask about it. Since then I’ve read about this family brewer, and when i found it at Cost Plus in Fresno {!!} i decided to give it a go. First thing MAN what a huge head! Not even half the glass full of liquid, [and I’m a careful pourer] after fifteen minutes i added some more, then slowly watched this volcano like effect of foam coming out the top, but never spilling over the edge. Slightly tannish cream colored. Huge thick lace down the side. Dark dark brown with some amber around the edges. Interesting earthy sweetish, malty aroma. Rather drinkable flavor, [not hoppy of course] but some interesting complex favors... sweet very full mouth-feel. some roasted malt, some spiciness, some burning at the back of the throat, [the alcohol? or some spice like hops?] This won’t be a regular, but i do appreciate the ale, and have to say it’s a very pleasant drink. Way cool bottle cork 1pint 9,4 oz [love that crazy European notation]

On tap. Dark ruby brown, thin off-white head. Aroma is malty, fruity, and musty. Flavor is fruity, malty, and sour.

hazy dark mahogany hue, with a frothy tan-colored head, with a yeasty, toasted, caramelized malts, with a dark dried fruits note of dates, plums, figs, raisins, hint of nutmeg spiciness, molasses, and a touch of alcohol in the aroma follows through on a full-bodied palate with a crisp toasted malt character, with a bitter chocolatey note, brown sugar, molasses, dark dried fruits accent, with a warm alcoholic feeling, leading towards a malty, fruity warm finish.

Dark with aromas of sugar and fruit. Palate is smoother and lighter than I was expecting. Flavor dissipates slowly. Nice. I let this one warm up to just below room temp.

Clear brown color with thick, lasting tan head, big bubbles. Aroma - dark fruits, hard candi sugar, spicy, oxidation. Flavor is dominated by tinny metalic with some oxidation. Medium body. Some malt flavor along with some candi sugar - no hops. Overally, I think I got a bad bottle. I’ve had this before and don’t remember so many off-flavors. Belgian character is evident, but it’s overwhelmed by the metalic/oxidation. Will have to re-rate this one.

Pretty good brew, a little too much alcohol flavor and aroma though. Has a nice fruity flavor and wonderful palate. Pours hazy tan with a large head typical of the style. An overall good brew.
