Poured into a flute.

Appearance: Medium to dark amber, semi clear white 1/2" light tan head.

Smell: Weakest point of the beer doesn't compliment the rest of what I am going to write. But that doesn't mean that it is bad. You get a scent of raisins with hint of maple.

Taste: Very complex..raisins, the taste of alcohol is simmering in the back of my mouth and seriously I am in love. Slightly sweet but a perfect imbalance of malt and wine. I have drank Raison D'etre quite a few times and it is a beer which gets better each time you have it.

Mouth: Yum...medium carbonation, perfect bitter after taste while sugars are overwhelming your gums.

Overall: I personally rarely drink a sweet beer here and there but DFH captures your heart with Raison D'etre. Definitely a beer you should and must keep around. Don't take it for granted and cheers to all!

Serving type: bottle
