The title is a little bit of an inside joke. I saw the word "Raison" on the bottle and not the plural form of it so I thought it only had one raisin in it. And by one, I mean in the entire cask it was brewed in, not the single bottle. Oh, how that raisin works. Let's move onto the review.
This brew has a very amber color that produces yet another fine, off-white head. Though it disappears quite quickly, it leaves a nice film on the edges and also reappears quickly after a thorough swirl. This beer is also very transparent so it's evident it will be, technically, a light ale. At first taste, you get a fine hit of fruit. You can get an essence of the raisin in it and other various fruits in the brew. This produces a very sweet-smelling brew. The taste is very reminiscent of a heavy wine. You get a nice taste of raisin and the other fruits that went into the brew. Also, you get the pleasant taste of hops and barley. This brew tastes much less alcoholic than any other high-percentage brew I've had. This beer goes in smooth, swells to a sugary taste with a hint of the hops and it goes down smooth and leaves behind a pleasant roasted barley spice.
Overall, I feel if you are not a fan of a fruity brew, this is not one for you. But, if you're looking for something a little different and new in the world of brew, I'd give this a shot. The texture of the beer is a nice change of pace from other brews.
