It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Beer: Delirium Noël

If Great Lakes Christmas Ale allows you to time travel, Delirium Noël declares, with a devilish smirk, "Roads?  Where we're going, we don't need roads."  Clocking in at a healthy 10%, this Belgian Strong Dark Ale is, in fact, Belgian, dark, and strong -- exactly how I prefer my ales and my strippers.  It's malty, caramely, and doesn't have much of an aftertaste despite its strength, which makes it dangerously easy to drink.  And with that, I'll see you in the morning, which, for me, will seem like five minutes from now.

Name:  Delirium Noël
Brewery:  Brouwerij Huyghe
Location:  Ghent, Belgium
ABV:  10%
IBU:  N/A
Good for drinking if: you want to drink a really strong beer out of a goblet while watching Santa Claus Is Coming To Town with your children, periodically cursing "that rat-dick motherfucker Burgermeister Meisterburger" at inappropriate volumes, or at least that's what the neighbors will tell you.
Rating:  4 stars (out of 5)
