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

Bottled 11/21/14. I don't know if fresher would be better but this example isn't quite for me.

Big booziness in the nose. Sip is light malt w bigtime raisin notes in the finish. Finish is very dry w a big shot of booziness. Def seems a bit thinner and boozier than I remember. Maybe aged a bit too long. Still a solid Belgian & smooth for massive ABV

Lots of yucks in the crowd. Age maybe isn’t beauty.

2014 - definitely past it’s prime - flavors are muted and not really taking me anywhere - the more recent years I’ve had of this were much better

Straight raisins. Super strong nose… I really appreciate this beer although I can’t say that I like it.
