Raison D'Extra (2014)

Belgian Strong Dark Ale

Our popular Raison D'Etre, with a little extra. This immodest brew, made with an obscene amount of malt, brown sugar and raisins, takes Belgian-style browns to new heights. See more at: http://www.dogfish.com/brews-spirits/the-brews/on-hiatus-brews/raison-dextra.htm

Thick, creamy, smooth, rich, decadent… all those dark raisins really make this present like an extra quadruple. Tons of brown sugar on the nose. Chocolate. Alcohol bite has completely gone after 7 years, with some noticeable, but mild malt oxidation.

Raisins through and through. An abundance of other dark fruit explodes on the nose and likewise the palate. Over 7 years old and yet the carbonation was spot on. Juicy Raisins on the front end with a dry merlot like finish. Excellent stuff.

Very boozy and sweet with a slightly fruity finish. Seems like those raisins are still coming through a bit after 8 years in a bottle.

Guessing this is '14 or older. Stellar beer. Rich, sweet malt. Brown sugar, raisin, alcohol warmth. Had a '19 recently and this blows the doors off it!

After aging for 9 years, this has gotten very smooth, with nothing diminished at all, though it is quite cloudy now. Lots of dark fruit flavors. Slightly sweet but not too sweet.

Had to commemorate the night by opening something special when I got home. I've never had RDX aged this long before and it's gotten to the point of tasting like liquid jolly ranchers. I'm not at all mad about it.

Way better as it warmed. Chilled it had a sharp alcohol burn and still kinda medicinal taste. Flavors of dark raisin and sweetness arise after it warmed. Forms into a barley wine meets quad vibe.

Interesting change, been 2-3y at least since I had this vintage - has gotten lighter in body and tasted more like a liquer now. Slightly syrupy with raisin and brown sugar notes still evident. 4.4.
