From the brewer
Our Raison D'Etre, with a little extra. This immodest brew, made with an obscene amount of malt, brown sugar and raisins, takes Belgian-style browns to new heights. - See more at: http://www.dogfish.com/brews-spirits/the-brews/on-hiatus-brews/raison-dextra.htm#sthash.GbFKpmTV.dpuf

Good mix of sweetness and sourness. Raisins are noticeable mostly in the aftertaste. Especially after having a fee sips. Had a weird faint medicinal flavor though.
unknown release
High alcohol starts off hidden but becomes more apparent over time, right at the front of the flavor. There's definitely raisin in here, but the beer is surprisingly mellow in spite of what could have been a cloyingly sweet flavor. Quite good, but small sips!
