Dogfish Head Raison D’etre

This beer pours a nice, dark, reddish brown. The head is light cream, and fads quickly leaving a thin ring around the glass. It was poured into a standard pint glass, and is about 50°.

It does not have a strong nose, but I did catch a hint of malt and almost a coffee smell. I’m not noticing some of the other more subtle scents others are.

The beer has a nice malty flavor. I’m also picking up the belgian sugars and just a hint of sourness. The finish is smooth. Mouthfeel may be a little weak, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call it watery.

I actually enjoyed this beer more than I thought I would, and would definitely drink it again if available.
