delirium christmas

Many people know the Belgian brewery Huyghe as Delirium. Delirium Tremens is probably the most famous beer from Huyghe. Every year, just in time for Advent, the brewery releases a Christmas edition of its blockbuster: Delirium Christmas.

The winter beer is a warming specialty that has 10.0% alcohol content and a whole lot of flavor. Delirium Christmas flows into the glass in a copper-red amber tone and shows ruby red reflections when exposed to light. When poured, a wonderfully festive scent rises from the fine, slightly tinted head of foam: soft caramel, Christmas spices, an earthy note of wood and a spicy hint of yeast meet in the nose and combine to form a tempting potpourri. A strong note of dried red fruits and a mulled wine-like alcohol haze are also added and make you want to take the first sip. When drunk, Delirium Christmas is extremely spicy and warm on the palate. A fruity note of dried plums meets red grapes and roasted malt on the tongue. The velvety smooth beer has a lovely sweetness that is elegantly balanced by a pleasant bitterness. Soft caramel complements the play of aromas. The finish is crispy bitter and wonderfully sweet at the same time.

Delirium Christmas is a feast for the senses and the perfect companion for Advent, Christmas and the holidays afterwards!
