Delirium Nocturnum

This is the dark companion to Tremens in the Huyghe's Delirium series of beers. Very definitely an individual beer, its strong, dark coloured with an intense 'bark bitter', hoppy taste. As the name suggests, good for drinking on dark winter nights.

Founded in 1906 Brouwerij Huyghe originates from Melle in the eastern Flanders region of Belgium, not far from Ghent. As with most continental breweries, Huyghe traces its original history way back, in this case to 1654 as it displays on its logo. In its modern incarnation Huyghe built its reputation on pilsner style ale. But in recent times their range of strong, classic Belgian style beers under the Delirium label and distinctive pink elephant branding have become far and away their most successful range. The best known of these is Delirium Tremens, a strong golden ale that's firmly fixed as their best-selling line. They also brew specialist beers under the Mongozo, Floris and Fruli labels.
