Delirium Nocturnum is a Belgian strong dark ale from Huyghe Brewery in Melle, Belgium, the same brewery behind Delirium Tremens and its famous pink elephant branding. It’s top fermented and bottle conditioned, bottled at 8.5% ABV, built around caramel, chocolate and spicy hints of liquorice and coriander. It suits someone who wants a genuinely strong, complex Belgian dark ale rather than a lighter session beer.
