Christmas Beer: Delirium Noël
Christmas beer with an Ümlaut? It almost didn’t make it home unopened.
Delirium Noël,
or Delirium Christmas ale (depending on where you find it), smells like dark fruit, maple, and bread. Pours darker and redder than the golden Delirium Tremens I’m familiar with. Tastes more festive, too.
Let Noël warm up and find a lot going on. Rich, fruity notes like green apples and golden raisins provide a sweet but not syrupy side. And the bready character and complex Belgian yeasts, not to mention 10% ABV, help make it a seriously satisfying winter warmer.
Cheers! Pröst! And Merry Christmas!!!
