3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
A murky brown appearance with a beige head. Aroma contains some nutmeg, caramel, toffee, spices, and cherries. The flavor contains some nutmeg, mint, toffee, some bitter nuts, cherries, and toffee. The palate is on the thin side but that’s ok. This beer is very nice and hides the alcohol well. I can’t believe I’ve not rated this before!

bottle in a snifter - pours hazy brown with quickly disappearing beige head. Oddly enough, slight agitation of beer, brings the head right back. Nose is alcohol, candy, and yeast. Aroma is caramel malts and perhaps coffee. Taste is quite sweet and about three minutes later, the bitterness kicks in. Pulpy body that is full with lots of fizz. This bottle has the most sediment of any beer I’ve ever seen. I really want to like this beer, but the grittiness and unmasked alcohol are too much.

UPDATED: DEC 16, 2011 Bottle. Also named Delirium Christmas. Dark goolden clear. Strange spicy raisin aromas. Caramel cereal aromas as well. Moderate sweet finish. Very malty x-mas. Dosen’t feel that strong. The brew gets better and better in the glas. Happy Christmas....
