Delirium nocturnum

The bottle label states: "A beer brewed with love, is drank in the right mind." nice touch.

This is a beer brewed by the Huyghe Family Brewery, just outside Ghent in Belgium.  The brewery was founded in 1992, and has recently doubled its brewing capacity to 300,000 hectolitres.

The beer is strong at 8.5% and is triple fermented.  It is dark brown in colour with a pleasing frothy head.  The aroma is sweet with identifiable caramel notes and liquorice. It also tasted very sweet with an initial syrupy alcohol hit, eventually balanced with a bitter treacle finish.
