Raisin D'Etre

Raisin D'Etre
by Dogfish Head

8% ABV
36 IBU

Not my favorite by Dogfish but still a very good beer.
Very small white head.
I didn’t get the raisins till after half way through my glass. I suspect the temp plays a huge role in this. Next time, I will definitely wait 5 minutes after removing from the fridge before I take my first sip.

Nose - Slight hoppy perfume. Mostly sweetness.
Taste - Full potential shows itself when a bit warmer.
Finish - Sweet then ending with a bit of raisin.
Recommended Pairing - Probably a pan seared foie gras dish, because of the sweet sauce that accompanies pan seared foie gras.
