Dogfish Head Raison D Etre

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

Pours a deep mahogany colour with a faint, barely noticeable white top. Aroma is faint raisins, little oak, but particularly nutty. Mouthfeel is creamy, light and pleasent. Artichokes!! Carmel, carmel apples, toffe sweet potatoe and almonds.

I wouldn’t say this particular beer is my exact reason for being. Beer in general and boobs have that classification, but this is definitely decent and well made. Gets an aight approval.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear mahogany with a creamy, medium carbonation. Aroma and flavor is of sweet maltiness, raisins, brown sugar. I like the candied sugars and the sweetness it brings, but not overpowering. Complex and a medium mouthfeel. Alcohol is undetectable. Great beer.

Caramel and brown sugar aroma. Caramel, raisins, burnt sugar, and cookie flavor. Finish is alcoholic and strong. However, alcohol is balanced by overall sweetness.

siena/amber colored, clear with a thin coating of a head that has some clinginess to it. whiskyish aroma with dark dark fruits and caramel toffee aspects taste: caramelly/toffee/malts, raisins

12 oz bottle from Jewel. Aroma: Malty, caramel, sweet, raisons (I would hope), slight coffee roast. Appearance: Deep oak, brown, mahogany. Darker, but clear with no cloudiness or haze. Very small white head that leaves quickly, but remains lacy. Flavor: Malty, candy sugar, caramel, almost a little bubble gum to it. Definitely sweet and a little bit of fruit. Palate: Very smooth and creamy. Not overpowering at all. Sweet all the way down with a slight bitter and roasty aftertaste. Overall: Very, very impressed. Not watered down at all. Balance is perfect. A great beer at dinner and a great session beer. Hides the 8% extremely well.

I really enjolyed this brew but after drinking just two it really worked up the system. Great flavor. I would like to try from a tap.

Dark ale. Very complex. Little bit sweet, with no bitterness to speak of. Good stuff to try. Creamy rich and smooth. Just like a wafferless twix bar. Good. Need More.
