The beer smells like a Belgium beer with fruit and spice. The color is a pale brown, and very hazy. The bottom of the bottle even has some particles, maybe yeast, floating in it. True to Belgium beers the foam is thick, but with no bubbles from the bottom.
This might be the most different Christmas beer so far. The taste is sour, and fruity with a bit of spice. The fruit taste is like raisin or some other dark fruit. There is also a warming to this beer, it might be from fusal alcohol, an off taste present in some beers. The sourness seems to mellow as I drink the beer which is good since I am not a fun of sour beer. The mouthfeel is heavy and smooth, except when too much sediment gets drank. A clean finish with just the warmth and a bit spice.
This is a fine tasting beer, I think the other Delirium beers are better. Not sure what make this any more Christmas than any other Delirium's. I am a little concerned about the sediment in the beer, maybe something was off in the bottling. I've included a picture of the sediment.

I just cracked a bottle of Delirium Tremens and had the most sediment I have ever seen in a beer by a mile. It is as if 200-300 particles at least 1/8 of an inch across are suspended in the brew. The bottle has been in my fridge for about six months, so I am sure it was well settled.
The sediment is the best part!
