Delirium Nocturnum
Brouwerij Huyghe

 

Very clean for a Belgian dark. Notes of molasses and cloves. A little bitterness in the aftertaste, but not hoppy. Outstanding for a Belgian dark. None of the burnt or bitter notes that some darks have.
Delicate head. Smooth feel.

750ml Bottle - Pours brown with 2 finger tan foam head. Smells of bready malt, caramel and banana. Taste follows the nose but there are also notes of sweet sticky dried fruit and it's followed by a hoppy bitterness. Great mouthfeel and a high level of carbonation.

 

 

 

Appearance: Pours a dark ruby, chocolate brown color with a strong, deep tan head that is pillowy, spotted, and laces the glasses. Lingers for days. SRM of 20. (4.25)

Aroma: Strong aromas of brown bread, banana bread, smooth caramel, monkey bread, and cinnamon rolls. Notes of sweet bananas and caramel linger. (4.25)

Flavor: Strong flavors of brown bread upfront. Turns into a Belgian yeast and spices that evolves into a banana sweetness. The sweet banana evolves into a caramel bread flavor, some chocolate, mixed with some yeast to dry is slightly. (4.00)

Feel: Heavier-bodied, average carbonation. Finishes sweet and spicy, and shows the booze a bit off the front and the end. (3.50)

Overall: First try at this one and due to a visit since trying the original Delerium Tremens last month. Fairly new at the style, but this drinks fairly similar. Identical Belgian spices, but more overripe banana and caramel. Shows the booze slightly more with less citrus. Shows the booze slightly more with less citrus. Shows the booze quite a bit and sort of overtakes the beer slightly too much for my liking. Glad to finally try it. (Rating: 4.03)

 

 

Never had this before, but I was looking for a small change of pace. This hits all cylinders well. It looks good in the glass, dark, clear, effervescent. Smells pleasant, part Belgian something meets a sweet caramel. Flavor is crisp and complex, with all things harmonized. Mouthfeel is medium, fitting the style. ABV is approachable and brings slow mellowness. I’d sYbthere is more of this in my future.

Gusher.

Bottle from John’s poured into tulip at home. Dark brown. Good amount of head, dissipated quickly. Love Belgians but this was just okay. Need again

 

Pours a dark, ruby brownish color with a sticky, off-white foam head.

Aroma: Bready and caramel notes. Sweet molasses, banana, dark fruits, and spice.

Taste: starts off mellow and grows in intensity. Bready and caramel up front, complimented by a second wave of sweet dark fruits, banana, spice, bitter hops and alcohol esters, with a lingering, warm, bittersweet finish. The yeast characteristics are really prominent.

Overall: This brew screams complexity.

 

The beer’s appearance is a hazy, rather murky brown, with a high head that is coarsely variegated at first, but settles into smooth creaminess. Cling quickly dissipates. Aroma is rather strong, sweet, and malty. The taste doesn’t measure up to the rich aroma. It is malt-forward, and quite toasty. A crisp, browned-pastry aftertaste lends a surprisingly, perhaps incongruously, refreshing element, suggestive of a dry stout. Balanced texture.

16oz undated can.

Pours cloudy brown with an inch-plus khaki head. Plenty of tattered lacing and persistent retention. Candied apples with raisins and cloves in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Rum-soaked raisins on the palate with sweet malt and a hint of toffee on the palate. Finishes fairly dry with a moderate bitterness.

 

 

Pours a translucent dark reddish brown with a 1F tan head and moderate lacing.

Smells of sweet fruit, caramel and bread.

Tastes of sweet toasted malt, belgian yeast, raisins, plums , cherries and cloves with a slightly spicy peppery , alcohol warm finish. This brew mellows and gets more complex as one's glass warms. It is not at its best when really cold, just out of the fridge.

Medium body with light carbonation. Lightly lush syrupy mouthfeel.

This is a very enjoyable, tasty, complex, highly recommended brew.
