Bottle at PIB 2016, pours a red-tinted dark brown with a small brown head. Aroma brings out lots of dark fruits, some sherry oxidation and a touch of roast. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of dark fruits and sherry oxidation. A little off but still pleasant. Okay.

Draft @ Delirium. Dorée, blanc épais. Arôme au nez fin, malt pils, lager levure, rétro modéré de houblons nobles, fruité avec un côté maïs, fleuri au bouquet rappelant les étendues de champs. Palais est léger, malté pils avec un fleuri assez plaisant, presque mielleux et finement citronné, le tout balancé par une bonne amertume avec un petit rappel de pomme astringente. Petite douceur résiduelle de maïs et une note lavande.

Draft @ Delirium. Brune foncée-cuivrée, col crémeux café au lait. Arôme au nez un peu suret de café concassé avec un petit côté de baies rouges. Dominance reste centrée sur le café sans pour cela être trop surfaite. Palais est malté versant sur un profil soyeux agréable au fini café presque espresso, léger côté grillé. Petite note épicée que l’on retrouve souvent avec le café. Pointe de malt cara pils, pâle et une certaine amertume persistante de houblons plutôt nobles. Le tout est léger, frais sans avoir ce café qui devient trop présent.

600 ml bottle with a production date that I can’t decipher.

Pours a near pitch black with an inch of tan foam. Minimal lacing.

The smell is fruity, roasty, very sweet from the malt and cane sugar. I can’t not mention how up in my nose the alcohol is.

Roasted malt, chocolate, sugary sweet malt, hints of licorice in the taste along with a strong alcohol presence. Something tells me that this isn’t the freshest bottle out there but perhaps that’s a good thing.

Full bodied with medium carbonation.

Despite the strong alcohol notes, I’m enjoying the slow sips that I am taking.

Hell yes. Super complex. Malty sweet, roasted malt, cocoa semi sweet, hints of licorice, big big booze.
