Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre

[BigB]

Anybody else try this recently? I found it tasty, but was hammered after only 3 beers! Plus I have a slight hangover this morning

Tried it? This beer may have singlehandedly gotten me through college. Love it.

First time I tried it, I hated it. Second time around I found it quite good (this is why I always try a beer a couple times before passing judgement on it). Yeah, it's a big beer that will get you wrecked if you're not careful.

I too like this beer and would like to try brewing it if someone has an all grain recipe.

I was exposed to this beer first when I was breaking up with an old girlfriend; that and a Cerberus Tripel made the night easier to bear.

But I was 20, and didn't know squat about beer. So I should come back to it and try some with SWMBO.

I too am a fan of this. Will have to try to make it sometime. At 8%, yes it can get you hammered.

I like most dfh beers. Unfortunately this isn't one of them. I found it too sweet, but that's just my taste. The raisin d'extra however is delicious (should you be able to find it).

XXX and 18% ABV! I've got a bottle stashed away to age for at least a couple more years before I try it out....

Super awesome beer but hard to find. I got to taste it wat the off-centered film fest in Austin a couple years ago. Sam C. came and we drank got to taste around 12 beers. Most were stuff you can find pretty easily bit he brought a few of the more rare ones. I remember it being sweet but balanced out by the high alcohol.content. very good brew.

I like it, but I can't drink more than one at a time. It's a sipper nightcap beer for me. It'll hit room temp long before I finish.
It's like eating two slices of pie, the first is good, about halfway through the second you realize it was too much.
