Bottle from New Beer split w Erica watching Christmas movies. Pour is a dark brownish red with no head/lacing. Sweet resin, spices and dark fruit come through, but the thing that stood out to me the most was the sediment in this thing. Tons. Made it interesting and pretty and probably added to the flavor, but by the last few sips, the concentration was so high that it was pretty tough to drink because it actually tasted chunky. My first experience like that with a beer.

This is a great treat for the short time it’s out.Aroma is lite and malty with a touch of yeast.Easy to drink at 10% but still full of flavors like dark fruits.Also has a pronounced alcohol flavor but no burn very cool.

Bottle. Spices, dough, nuts, rumcake, and a touch of toothpaste. Some doughy spiced booze shines through.

(Bottle 23/12-2011) medium light brown head, clear amber color, yeast malty aroma, smooth slightly sweet taste. BB date September 2014.

33cl bottle. "Delirium Christmas" on the label. Brown colour with a good formation of tan head at the beginning but quickly diminishes. Aroma is sweet, candy sugar, alcoholic. Flavour has notes os spices, alcoholic, chocolate with milk, bready, plumbcake. Carbonation is medium to lively. Texture is oily. Body is high.

Aromatic pour. I get a slightly floral aroma with alittle alcohol. The taste of alcohol is surprisingly masked for a 10% abv.

Bottle from Pivonka. Copper color,strong malty aroma and taste,small head,enjoyable.:)

Decent looking copper pour. Not overwhelming level of spice and fruit. The 10% may put me in the Noel mood though.....
