Draught keg. Wheat, fruits, christmas, spices, alcohol, malt. Sweet. Amber body. Thin white head which largely dissipates. Dry finish. Good.

Very fruity aroma, some yeast as well, dough. Alcohol is present in both taste and aroma. Taste is dominated by the fruits, but there’s a spicy sensation there to balance it out. Colour is a beautiful clear brown, head is off-white. (Bottle)

Pour is a nice shade of mahogany, with a small whiteish tan head with good retention. Nose is of dark fruits and spices, smells like winter. Taste is something similar to gingerbread, though not quite, dominated by other characters which make it sweeter.

33cl bottle, labeled "Delirium Christmas", trappist glass. Pours a clear red, with a short-lived beige head. Smells of sweet winter spices. Medium bodied, above-average carbonation, long fruity boozy finish. Tastes of cherries, malt and spice. A very pleasant warming beer.

Bottle.My x-mas beer no.8 .Bottle amber colour with small white head.Aroma is sweet with heavy alc.Taste of berries and marzipan well balanced and sweet malty.

Bottle from ølbutikken, called delirium christmas on the .label, and the elephant is on a sled in the snow. 10%. Clear amber, smooth beige to brown head. aroma of sweet dried dark fruits, spices, malts. not as sweet as I had expected, in fact quite dry. Flavor is dried fruts, alc., malts, not very sweet, and not very spicy. alc. is quite easily tasteable, will not get cloying, but might come off as too boozy. Flavor almost resembles barley wine a little, but not a good one.

Rating #649, flaske fra Toft Vin Islands Brygge, drukket til julebrygsmagning 2011 og medbragt af mig

En gullig gennemsigtig øl uden skum. Duften er tung af eddike, ribs og bær - det er tydeligt at dette er en kraftig satan. Smagen har eddike, ribs, bær, salt, gær og en gennemsnitlig bitter afslutning. Tyk og cremet følelse i munden. Fin bryg.
