Dogfish Head Raison D Extra

deep brown color with a light head that fades quickly. scent is of raison and plum and alcohol. light oily lacing. flavor is fairly sweet and the raisons really come out. very warming alcohol feel. strong, but not overpowering. nice enjoyable sipper.

12 oz bottle for 8 bucks. The aroma was similar to raisons and captian morgan. It was like a ride on a warm-air balloon that never ends. Very strong beer, could taste the raison...monster...

Dark honey color with a massive creamy white head. Raisons and malt in the nose with raisins coming through particularly strong on the very malty body. An excellent brew for an afternoon at the grill.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a medium deep reddish brown with a moderate linen white head that lasted through almost half the glass. Light, pleasant aroma of malt, caramel, and raisins. The first sip was a surprise for me. This beer is loaded with flavor. Malt and caramel up front and then luscious fruity raisins. Absolutely delicious. I knew the ABV was high, as there is a warming sensation at the swallow, but at 18.5%, it is extremely well hidden. Luxurious mouthfeel reminds me of relaxing with a glass of port more than sipping a beer. Excellent stuff.

I must have missed something here or really did not expect what is was. I felt like the raisons and sugars really overpowered this with sweetness, carmel was evident as well. Now that I see Alcohol% I would like to try again. Not my favorite dogfish head when I had it, but I can admit maybe I was wrong.

12 Ounce bottle on 3/4/06. This poured a dark copper with little head. The color was very apealing and so was the aroma....sweet but not too sweet with lots of raison and little hop. Mouthfeel was thick and coated every inch of the inside of my mouth with warm subtle sweetness. I had this in a snifter and found it to be VERY drinkable (sipable..is that even a word?). Surprisingly little bite for the high ABV. One bottle seemed perfect for one person. Of course, I had nothing more to drink the entire evening but I savored this for a couple of hours and ended the night with a smile on my face. I enjoyed this at least as much as I enjoyed the Worldwide Stout.

Thank you Stegosaurus. Bottled my first reaction was "come to pappa" ! First off lets tip our hats to Dogfish for making alot of really A + QUALITY BEERS. Brown pour with little head. Caramel, raisin\mild fruit aroma. Reminded me a little of world wide stout nice an hardy. Rasin taste is noticeable but not over whelming. Good blended alcohol taste that warms your solar plexes. Finish was a little sweet but blended very well again with the alcohol contrast. GOD BLESS THE DOG FISH !

Bottled. Geez-louise! This is very distinct. Aroma is of dark fruit, plum, raisin, prune. Flavor is sweet, very sweet. When I saw this was 18% alcohol I was shocked. I can taste the alcohol like a 9%er or so, but this must be the highest abv beer I’ve had. I can feel it already 1/3 into the bottle.
