Discussion
Very good, but not what I was looking for.

This was the first attempt at a Dogfish Head Raison D'etre clone. Came out very good as a beer, but off the mark as a clone. Actual OG was 1.084 and TG was 1.02. carmel and dryed fruit. Good balance, not as bitter as numbers would imply. happy over all, but making some adjustments for another shot at the clone.
