A - Pours a dark mahogany red with a finger of frothy tanish head. The head fades down fairly slowly leaving behind some lace.
S - Aroma is a mix of raisin and other sweet dark fruits, Belgian candi sugar, and some spicy belgian yeast.
T - Starts off with a mix of sweet raisin and plum with some dark Belgian Candi sugar and a bit of spicy yeast character. Through the middle, some more earthy dark fruit flavors come through with some stronger Belgian yeast flavors and spices. The finish is a mix of sweet dark fruits, candi sugar, Belgian yeast, and a bit of booze.
M - Medium-full bodied with moderate carbonation. Feels smooth with a sweet and warming finish.
D - Very drinkable. Nice take on the BSDA flavor with lots of raisin and dark fruit flavor. The overall balance is really nice.

2012 bottle poured into a tulip glass. Pours a deep red mahogany color with a small white head. Nose is very complex, rich red wine, raisins, leather, malt. The nose is the best part of this brew. Taste is good, just a bit thin one dimensional, it loses a lot of the wonderful scents in the nose. A little bitterness and a slight alcohol burn finishes this one out.

I can’t believe that I have never rated this beer... I have brewed clone recipes of this beer, because it is that good... Deep mahogany in color, aroma is Belgian yeast, malts, raisins... Flavor is raisins, dates, malts, belgian yeast, candi sugar.... Delicious...

12 oz bottle... truly amazing rendition of a Belgian Strong Ale...hugely complex with lots in common with fine wine. Every time I have a glass of red wine I secretly wish that I was actually having a Raison D’Etre.

This mellow ale is the epitome of smooth. Caramel notes on the back end smooth out theroasted notes on the front end. A trip to the end of an 8% has rarely been this pleasant.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a dark amber with a nice biege head. Aroma of malt, caramel, dark fruit, and yeast. Taste is molasses, dark fruit, caramel, chocolate, malt, and spices. Complex for sure. Very nice!!
