The mix of powerful flavors tend to overstay their welcome. I usually like the brand, but it feels like the brewers didn’t quite know which direction they wanted to go in here.

Pours dark brown with frothy tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is strong of raisins esters and dark brown sugar, The taste is sweet with a crisp boozey finish. Overall an amazing beer!

My source was bottles, I can imagine this being exceptional on tap. Interesting flavor on this one. Tastes like a Belgian ale but has noticeably different accents. Borders both bitter and sweet and has an alcoholic overtone. Overall this is similar to the aged Abby ales, if you like those, give this a shot.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bière rougeâtre, peu effervescente avec un nez de sucre cuit / caramel. La bouche abonde dans le même sens avec des notes sucrées qui se révèlent nettement plus fruitées en finale.

Dogfish Head Raison D’Etre has an extremely thin, off-white head, that fizzes right away. The appearance is semi-clear, brilliant, reddish-brown, with no lacing left behind and chunky pieces floating about. The aroma is of sweetness, turnip, slight caramel, and odd fruit. Taste is of raisins, turnips, brown bread, vegetable-like sugar, iced tea, and mold. There is an underlying hop bitterness, but this is mild. Mouthfeel is medium and somewhat prickly, and Dogfish Head Raison D’Etre finishes dry, rich, and not alcohilic. Certainly, this beer is unique, and I score it most excellent. RJT
