Beer Profile
Raison d’Etre
Raison d’Etre is a robust Belgian ale with an 8.7% ABV and moderate bitterness at 45 IBU. This complex brew features golden raisins and Belgian candi sugar, which contribute layered sweetness and a warming alcohol presence. Its aroma presents notes of dried fruit, caramel, and subtle spice, while the palate balances rich maltiness with crisp, fruity undertones and a hint of earthy hop bitterness. The full-bodied mouthfeel supports a lingering finish that reveals hints of dark fruit and a touch of barrel-aged character when applicable. This beer offers a nuanced interpretation of the Belgian style with depth and complexity.
