Dogfish Head is quickly becoming one of my favorite breweries. Luckily, we keep a stock of beers in the fridge at work for Friday afternoons and this afternoon a six-pack of Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre was in there. The color on this beer is pretty awesome - a deep mahogony / copper color, its neither orange or red. A strong beer, its chock full of belgian malts and looks great. The aroma is sweet and estery, with a touch of candy and raison - its brewed with green raisons, afterall. The flavor is thick and malty - its a strong ale and then some at 8% ABV. Very estery with apricot, cherry almond notes with lots of alcohol, this strong belgian is yummy with a kick in the finish, but enjoy with caution.
