Draught @ SKAAL Sønderborg. Pours cloudy dark ruby / copper brown with airy beige head. Clear aroma of malt, barrel, fruit and yeast. Seeetish flavour of barrel, vanilla and malt, with notes of yeast, fruit and hops. Bitter and acidic aftertaste with acidic and barrellike notes. Warming alcohol presence. The only good beer from this brewery I have tasted. But then it is very good, not just good.

Dark brown with an orange hue and a small creamy white head that left good lacing. Strong whiskey, toasty malt, toffee and faint golden fruit. Long finish. Moderately full bodied

Bottled 750ml (AIH147)
Dark ruby colour, big beige head and lace. Oak, vanilla, dark fruits in the nose. Medium-bodied. Typical Delirium flavour: fruityness now with strong barrel age vanilla flavour. Backing alcohol. Similar than Chimays: does not gain much from barreling.

Tap @ Pikkulintu Ruttopuisto. Poured dark brown in color. Toffee malty with vanilla barrel quite strong. Bourbon and malts. One dimensional somehow.

Draught (11,5%) @ Pikkulintu Ruttopuisto Aroma has ripe fruits and belgian yeast. Also toffee-like malt. Flavour has toffee candy, plastic glue, rather sharp alcohol and pear esthers. Too strong on alcohol and rather sweet but kinda works. The pear esthers are nice. Does not smell or taste like a stout; more like belgian strong. Actually this is quite close to BA La Trappe Quad.

(Keg at Hilpeä Hauki, 20211208) The beer poured dark brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had vanilla, wood, toasted malts and Belgian style yeast. Palate was full bodied and a bit sticky with medium carbonation. Flavours were vanilla, wood, toasted malts, grass and bitterness. Aftertaste was dry, woody and bitter. A nice brew with rather strong barrel notes and light Belgian style notes.

Beer tasting & B2B event hosted by Belgian Embassy in Croatia, thanks for the invite. Thanks to the kind people from Brouwerij Huyghe and especially Zvone Pelko for opening this one. Unclear amber, medium beige head. Mild oak notes at first, bourbon coming out nicely, tannic, malty, peaty, dried fruit. Lots of bourbon character in the flavour, some alcohol, dried fruit and malts again in the finish. Drying, smooth, strong, tartish liqueur-like.

10 oz pour at Homebrewstuff. Ruddy Brown pour with a few bubbles around the collar. Normal Belgiany yeasty notes coupled with some dark malts. Barrels offer a hint of booziness to the already potent base beer. Raisons, prunes, chocolate, woody. Full mouth feel, sticky, mouth coating. Smooth and enjoyable.
