Dogfish Head Raison D Etre

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Milton, Delaware USA

a very complex and deep beer, hints of raison and wine in the aroma, very smooth beer though with a lot of hops and bite, overall a very good beer

Well balanced beer with dried fruit and amber flavors. Dark amber beer with light white head. You can taste a lot of the fruits with slight balanced hoppiness. The beer definitely has the belgian finish and is really complex. Good session beer.

12oz bottle, pours a dark reddish brown with a medium white head. Raisins, plum and malt on the nose. Flavour is malt, raisins, very sweet, with a faint coffee hint at the end. Very nice.

Pours dark copper with an off-white head, fades to moderate lacing. Nose of raisins and figs and malt. Medium mouthfeel, crisp at first, with a good malty backbone and rich fruit taste. Roasty, chocolate-maltiness too. A good beer.

Pours dark brown with small head. Definite fig and fruit aroma. Feels nice in the mouth and has a deep flavor. Good flavor of dark malts and I get just a bit of coffee flavor at the end. This is a good choice for relaxing at the end of the night, or even outdoors on a cold night.

Pours a great off-brown colored head that quickly fizzles away to reveal a deep, clear red body with a steady flow of carbonation from the bottom of the tulip glass. Almost lace-less. Aroma of roasted malts and beet sugar. Flavor os pit fruitand malts, alcohol detectable. Sweet and a tad puckery on the cheeks. A great mouthfeel... respectable. Clean finish.

Reddish Brown color. Small white bubbly head. Raisin flavor very sweet and sugary. I was expecting a bit more from this brew.

Pours dark reddish brown with a thin head. The nose is brown sugar, raisin, prunes, and molasses. The taste is very similar with a small amount of booze. This is a pretty good twist on a brown ale.
