Delerium Noël Belgian Ale

From the Brouwerij Huyghe (I have no idea how to pronounce that, but I think it's Flemish) in Belgium, most famous for their trippel, Delerium Tremens and Delerium Nocturmum, a Belgian dark ale, Delerium Noël, is their seasonal offering. Very smooth and sweet, with dark fruits: figs, black cherries and dates, as well as some apricot, apple and pear. A little bit of lemon zest as well. I'd characterize it as a quadrupel, although they don't use that term on their website. Definitely a sippin' beer even if there's not much alcohol heat despite the 10% ABV. A great addition to holiday gatherings.
