Delirium Nocturnum (8.4% ABV)

There is a dark ruby hue to this triple-fermented beer which pours with a seemingly dense head that nevertheless disappears without a trace almost immediately.

A black treacle and prune nose gives way to a hoppy, fruity strawberry jam flavour which finishes surprisingly dryly.

Delerium Nocturnum tries hard, and whilst the three yeasts and five malts make for a brew that is interesting in each of its parts, it's not a relaxing experience. Rather, this is a beer that clanks and crashes through its gears and gives the palate something of a rough ride.
