It's a 10% ABV from Belgium by Brouwerij Huyghe, who also make Delirium Tremens. According to the Beer Advocate page, it's a Belgian Strong Dark Ale. I did not have an example of this at my beer tasting party this spring (though I did have a strong pale ale (Lucifer).)
It's got a nice flavor to it - spices of some sort (cinnamon? cardamom?), maybe some caramel sweetness. It's also damn deceptive. You're drinking along, minding your own business, when BAM! A buzz comes over you. Ben said, "As beers go, this is pretty good." (Which from him is a ringing endorsement, since he hates beer.)
People at Beer Advocate recommend Delirium Nocturnum as an alternative. I'd like to try Delirium Tremens (another SPA), but it's currently $15.99/4 pack at Weaver St. (If anybody local wants to split one...) DT gets a lot of glowing reviews at BA, and I'd really like to try it. Stupid crappy exchange rate.
Another SDA I enjoyed was N'ice Chouffe, another seasonal brew (whose bottle didn't have a label I could soak off. boo.)
I didn't like Trois Pistoles.
About 90 minutes later, I'm still feeling slightly happy. 10% ABV, you are my friend.
