Delirium Nocturnum

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

Appearance: Brown with lots of yeast flecks and a dirty brown head. Aroma: Yeast, caramel, lots of dark fruit with some alcohol and a good amount of malt. Flavour: Quite malty with a good deal of vanilla, plums and other dark fruits, some chocolate; toffee and a nice amount of carbonation with a long sweet finish. Not bad at all.

Bottle. Frothy off-white good mostly deminishing head. Dark amber colour. Powerfull fruity and light bitter flavor. Prune notes. Moderate bitter very dark fruity flavor. Average finish. Oily slightly syruply palate.

330mL bottle courtesy of sdriessen. Pours red/black with a big fluffy Duvel-esq tan head which lingers. Aromas of dark fruit, raisiny, cloves, aspects of both dubbel and tripel here. Flavour is very fruity, raisins dominate. The spice is very strong here. Quite a warming beer. Candy sweetness is balanced with a mild bitterness well. Bitterness lingers briefly with the spices. Quite a unique Belgian.

Drank from a bottle in a chalice. The beer pours redish brown with a good head and nice fruity caramal aroma. Tastes of chocolate and berries, I actually like this better than the tremens.

Bit of sourness in the aroma. Nice color, head seems a little "loose"... big bubbles, clumpy. Flavor? Gah! Gnar. Funky. Drain pour, I’m afraid.

Rosso rubino, liquorosa con finale secco. Ottima dark belga. Bevuta alla spina in Pazzeria, spillata in co2.

Pours dark red-brown and bubbly into a Belgian chalice. Head is big and persistent. Initial typical aromas of dark beer, but they could be stronger. Good mouthfeel, tastes of berries and chocolate, slight bittery alocohol finish. Goes down very smooth. Very nice dark beer.
