What's going down, everybody? I'm Peter Moeller of Fairgrounds Wine & Spirits in Danbury,
Connecticut and welcome back to Fairgrounds TV. Welcome back everybody. Today we got a
great Belgian beer: it is Delirium Nocturnum. It is 8.5% alcohol by volume and it is considered
a Belgian strong ale. A dark strong ale. So let's give this one a whirl. Haven't had this
one in a while but usually it's a delicious beer. Got a beautiful tannish head with nice
fine, fine bubbles in the carbonation. I love that. That means it's going to stick around
for a while and be nice and foamy. Beautiful carbonation. The color is a very dark, almost
a reddish hue. It's a little bit cloudy too. I just had it in the car so it kinda got jostled
around and the yeast. Let's give it a check out. These Belgian strong ales have a slight
mocha and a lot of malt and toffee and I love those. You also got a little bit of metallic,
but that's kind of run of the mill. You've got this little bit of metal smell but it's
usually just fine. But with the caramel and the toffee it's just delicious. Let's taste.
Oh yeah. You know those caramel hints, it's more of a fruity essence on your tongue. It's
a beautiful mouthfeel. Great carbonation. It being 8 and half percent there's a little,
you can feel a little warmth coming down. The alcohol is not too in the front but you
do get these dark fruits, maybe some of these dark, dark cherries.And then that sweeter
side, this toffee, candied kind of side. Delicious. Love it, love it. Definitely some candied
sugar in there with the dark cherries. Look at the head retention. It's just getting thick
and frothy. It's a great beer. Delirium does a great job. We have their other ones. We
just had their Noel for Christmas. We also have the Delirium Tremens all year round.
Come on down to the store, check this out and I hope you enjoy everything we're doing.
Please, please, please, if you ever want us to taste a beer that you havent had or want
to know a little more about or something we haven't tasted yet, let us know, write us
an email, shoot us back as a post on the video and we will love to do anything we can. I
am going to finish this one this evening. So see ya later!
