My “reason to be” is gone
I’ve been working on this entry for about two months. Its been about that long since I picked up a case of Dogfish Head Raison D’Etre. After my first sip, I was sure it would be gone in a few days. I stretched it out a lot longer than I thought I would.
The Belgian family of beers hold some of my favorite styles. This Belgian strong dark ale put itself at the top of my list right off the bat. With a nice light tan head, the Raison D’Etre pours a dark caramel color. Strong malty flavor and an 8% ABV give me the flavor that I love so much in my favorite Belgian styles. What separates this one though is the earthy sweet flavor of raisins it is brewed with. The flavor is fruity and satisfying.
As I write this entry, I am about halfway through my last bottle. It’s a sad day, but luckily Raison D’Etre is one of Dogfish Head’s year round beers. I suppose I’ll have to go find another case.

This beer sounds delicious. I think I may have to pick some up my self.

This is my all time favorite beer. It became my favorite on my first tasting.
