Sep 7, 2008 Updated: Mar 28, 2009Pours a very cloudy brown, thin foam -- not nearly the foam from the regular D’ Etre. Aroma of alcohol. Taste of alcohol. Seriously, this is too much. The regular D’Etre is much better.
Update: Had it again 3/28/09, like it better this time. Taste is of a very strong barleywine. Still a little too strong, alcohol-wise, though.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours hazy red with a yellow head. Strong aroma, a bit sweet, with raisin and a bit of booze. Flavor is also sweet and fruity, with raisin, brown sugar and again, just a bit of booze. Very easy to drink for 18.5% ABV.

Aug 11, 2008 12 oz bottle, purchased sometime in mid-2007 (date lost to the winds). Pours a deep red-brown color with a small light tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is alcohol, malts, raisins and other dried fruits. Flavor is strong warming alcohol, with dried fruit - raisins. Enjoyable, but certainly only a once-in-a-while kind of beverage as I’d probably rather just drink Raison D’Etre.

Aug 10, 2008 Pours red-orange, cloudy, with a small yellowish head. Alcohol, apricot, malt, and raisin are evident on the nose. Flavor is sweet, with candied orange peel, sweet malt, raisin, and a definite alcohol bite, due to the high ABV. Nice prickly mouthfeel, very nice brew.

Aug 10, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a deep amber, brown in color with an almost nonexistant head. It has a sweet, dried fruit aroma. The flavor was along the same lines as the D Etra version, full of dried fruit, with a bit more of an alcohol kick. As it warms, it takes on a bit of a brandy characteristic, growing legs, the alcohol becomming more prevelant... It evolves into a full bodied ale with a bracingly warm finish. Well crafted and most enjoyable.

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle. Definitely a step up from the etre. Brownish burgundy with a decent head. Dark fruit aroma with some roastiness and alcohol. Sweet mostly, smooth for such a high alcohol content, very warming and nice to drink. Very good. I can see myself drinking this on cold winter nights.
