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

No time like the pandemic! Still boozy after 6 years. Definitely more kick than the more recent releases. 🍻

6 years old now. Excellent. Mellow and oakey. Not too sweet. Much better after than fresh. Malty, boozy, very strong with a hint of raisin.

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.

Bottled 21 Nov 2014. Smell is caramel and raisins. Taste is the same. Jaysus this held up fantastically.

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

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.
