Delirium Noel - Pink Elephants Anyone?




Delirium Noel comes from the great Huyghe Brewery. I am a big fan of their Delirium Tremens beer. So how does their Christmas beer compare? Delirium Noel comes in at a whopping 10% ABV. The head for this beer is small. The beer pours a dark brown color. The aroma is of malt and dark fruit. Taste wise I can pick out the slightly roasted malt flavor, along with dark fruits. The carbonation level is medium. Altogether it is a nice tasting beer, but coming from a great brewery it is a bit of a disappointment. I would expect better from this brewery. Each drink I took I thought to myself, "This could be better". Not that it is a bad beer at all. If you enjoy lightly roasted, high alcohol, Belgian style ale, then this beer is a good choice. I would share it with a friend. I would also buy it occasionally. I grade this beer a B.




What new beer have YOU tried today?
