D.T. is the sh*t, straight up. Cat's loungin in the pajamas. They really oughta put it in real ceramic, but I suppose no one does. Still, you know it can go around the world and at least light intensity won't be a problem. It will lay you out like a swipe to the head, but tasty. Reeeeeaaaaaaaaall taaasssssttyyyyyy.

Smaller batch size perhaps?

On the other hand, Delirium Tremens is brewed almost exclusively with pale malt, which is very light in colour because it is dried at a low temperature. A large amount of pale malt is used, along with additional brewing sugars to increase the alcohol content. The absence of any dark grains in the brewing results in its light colour, but the high alcohol content, the large amount of hops added to provide adequate balance, and the fermentation of the beer by a special Belgian ale yeast combine to create the harsh, full-bodied flavours.

Here's another recipe: http://hbd.org/franklin/public_html/recipe...iumtremens.html

A recipe I saw on a Dutch homebrew site (which I can't seem to find now) called for 85% Pils, 15% Candi sugar, using noble hops (can't remember the specifics, sorry, I'll see if I can find it again).
