Nocturnum

Nocturnum from Delirium is a Belgian strong ale that bridges two traditions within its style family. At 8.5% ABV, it carries the warming strength characteristic of Belgian ales, while its restrained bitterness of 24 IBUs allows malt complexity to lead. The beer's dual nature—positioned between golden and dark expressions—invites exploration of how Belgian brewers work within a single style to create distinct character through color and grain selection rather than hop intensity. This release reflects the breadth possible within Belgian brewing, where alcohol and restraint in bittering create space for yeast character and malt depth to define the drinking experience.

As one user put it: “Not my favorite Delirium.”
