Another Raison? Yes, ladies and gentlemen - this is correct. The previous iteration, the Raison d'Etre, had one raisin in it. This one, d'Extra, has two. Let the sarcasm continue...
Poured out quite cloudy with a dark brown hue in the middle of the glass and a light brown/tan top. There was minimal head with a small foam ring around the top. The aroma came up with a bouquet of sweetness and a slight bit of raisins as well. There was also a very prevalent scent of alcohol. Little note: We didn't look up the alcohol content of this brew before we tasted and decided to when we noticed how alcoholic is smelled. 18% - hello, hello. The taste was very strong and pretty bitter. There was a slight hint of raisins in the palate and it overall reminded me of the Ruination with the slight citrus taste (which was a good and bad thing). The texture was quite smooth. It stated pretty mellow and then hit me pretty hard with the taste and bitterness and ends with an even harder hit from the alcohol.
Overall, it was a nice beer, but not my kind of beer. It reminded me of orange cleaning solution again like the Ruination but it wasn't nearly AS bad. Good to try if you like orange-tasting beers that are very bitter.
