@Scyrene – Thanks for the comment! If you get a chance to try Delirium Noel when its that time of year, I recommend it!

I had this at a beer festival yesterday; tried it again today. I’d say it’s a very good beer. My friends and I all found the Belgian beers more complex, with fruitier aromas, than the UK ones we tried. I couldn’t say whether it’s a “great”; I haven’t tried enough yet to say. It’s not quite as good for me as Orval, still my favourite Belgian, but it’s not far off. For the strength, it is delicious and smooth.

Finally got to try this over the Christmas holiday, and while I liked it, I thought Delirium Noel was a better beer overall. Now I need to check out Nocturnum! .-= Scott-TheBrewClub´s last blog ..Sam Adams Infinium – Did you try it =-.

Bob, I’m confused as to who writes the rambling introductions!!!!

You’re right though, it is really about the beer in contrast to Don who is in it for the groupies.

Well guys, I confess that I hit fifty three this week, and have been enjoying beers since I was about seventeen. That’s thirty six years of drinking, or 432 months, so a new beer every month or so gets awfully close to 500 beers. But you’re right @Don, I probably have about fifty beers I would judge noteworthy. Heck I was only basing the 500 number on a book someone else wrote. Kinda like 501 movies you must see (if you don’t have any friends).

I agree with @Big Tex – “a good beer, not great. I’d drink it again.”

And as for better identification of a post’s author, well as @Don observed, you might get a clue as to whether it’s one of my reviews based on
1) a rambling introduction
2) flowery Brit language and
3) a photo taken in my kitchen.

That’s fine by me, I don’t write these for fame, as the tagline on this site used to read “It’s about the beer.”

@Don. I’m ‘kinda like’ getting an idea how Jim feels. And sure, why wouldn’t I have tried 500 beers? I am 82 ya know!

Still, I do wish this theme had a better post author identity system for people like you. Something with BIG pictures so there is no confusion as to who kinda wrote the review!

@Nate- I’m kinda looking forward to the Nocturnum too!

@Big Tex – I’d agree. The label is ‘kinda like’ cool!

Those pink elephants are rather hypnotic. The seem to say: “Drink this beer. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.” Sort of like a Borg-ish pachyderm.

Overall, it’s a a good beer, not great. I’d drink it again.

Sorry Scott, Didn’t see that the review was from Bob. I should have known, it was at least 4 paragraphs shorter than your standard review. And you would have never used the word “redolent”, in Scott language that would have been “kinda like”. But point well taken, Bob has probably forgotten more beers than I have ever drank.

It's a great beer, but Nocturnum is much better, in my opinion. I've got a bottle of 2009 that I've been saving for a while. .-= nate´s last blog ..I Drink Beer & It Makes Me Happy =-.

@Don – where Bob’s from, its not uncommon to have 500 or so beers in a week. Look, when you put beer on your cereal, brush your teeth with beer, bathe in beer, your body absorbs a lot more than we Americans are accustomed to!
