Aged 2.5 years. Gave away the chest freezer, so it’s time to drink my collection of aged beers.

Boozy, the brown sugar and raisin are definitely present. Good but how anyone could have a whole bottle is beyond me

Amazing aroma of Raisinets and caramel, unfortunately tastes nothing like that, very metallic taste, not sure if the beer was bad or it just tastes metallic, either way, it was not good.

Had to bring home a growler of this one and sip it while enjoying a nice steak. You can definitely pull out the brown sugar and raisins. It's boozy but super smooth. I'm impressed and glad I tried it.

I don’t know what goes on in my head when I buy beer sometimes. The yeast gives this weird distinct sweetness. The back is so harshly boozy and then there is the raisin flavor. None of those flavors go together. That was just ruff!

Harsh 1st taste. Then it settles in smooth and boozy. Sweet finish.

Sometimes craft beer lovers would do well to remind themselves that great American beer is not new.

Strong. Original d’etra was way better. Possibly aging will help.

Molasses and raisin flavors with a scotch note. Strong molasses aroma with a weak lace. Lots of sediment, but overall brown in color. Heavy body. Same batch as my original review.
