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

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!

Aged to a T in the past nine years. There is ample raisin and brown sugar in this excellent bread-pudding dessert of a beer.

Wow, out of production aged from 2014. Roger Smith Sr might be taking a 4 hour road trip. This is truly beer heaven. Goes down smooth at 18 percent.

My daughter’s 8 year old birthday requires an 8 year old beer. She’s so big and mature now!! 😭 (Am I referencing the beer or the child?)

Nutty and perfectly boozed. Loud and boldly attention seeking. Raisin is grapey and lingering - the vintage is soft, beautifully poised like a port, smooth and supple and smoky like an old whiskey. This is a real treat Joshua. Merry Christmas fam! 🎄🎅🏼

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.

LCI. Had high hopes this one would age well. A little let down with a thinner body, but still rewarded with some nice flavor notes of raisin, prune, light cardamom, and light chocolate. Mixed feelings... probably should've opened 3 years ago. 3.9

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.

Aged for nine years. Probably should have had it a bit sooner. Great taste upfront, but a little off in the after taste.
