Chris brought some of this by this evening, and its now one of my favourite of Dogfish Head's beers.
Advertises itself as having chicory and coffee in it... This could have gone terribly wrong, I'm hard-pressed to recall and beer with coffee in it that I liked, despite really liking coffee. Its just a rich, complex, slightly dry, stout. Not nearly the weirdness I would've expected from Dogfish, which is a good thing!

Raison d'Etre, Dogfish Head, DE
A reasonable beer, from an unreasonable brewery.
First time I had it we bought a flat of 24. For some reason the liquor stores in that part of Ohio only sell in bulk... god knows why, but I suspect they don't want people who can't afford large amounts of beer drinking.
Anyhow, we needed beer before driving into West Virginia, the further you drive south, the better the chance you'll be in a dry county, or just one where Michelob is considered a preimium ale.

Indian Brown Ale, Dogfish Head, DE
The best Dogfish beer I've ever had, and one of only two I'd buy again (the Raison d'Etre is the other).
A mild ale, with a sweet finish. Simple, enjoyable, and an accident. The grocery story in Bishop we were going to always seemed to have it's boxes of beer mixed up... there was a single Brown in the 4-pack of Pumkin, thank heavens for small blessings!

Punkin Ale, Dogfish Head, DE
It's not easy to make a good pumpkin pie flavored beer... and Dogfish made the worst I've tried.
Shipyard's Pumpkinhead Ale is the only I've tasted that was good, and it was so good I'd bring flats of 24 back to Toronto with me after fall climbing trips to Rumney.
Anyhow, I keep searching for another good one, and this one was mildly unpleasant.

Palo Santo Marron, Dogfish Head, DE
The New Yorker had an article that it introduced by discussing Dogfish Head's Palo Santo Marron.
It was thick and sweet. Its called a "malt beverage", so I suspect it isn't brewed with hops, and it definitely tastes malty.
We split a 12 fl.oz. (about 350 ml by modern measures) bottle among three. I don't think I could drink a pint, and I don't think I'll buy it again, either, though it was fun to try. The New Yorker article is better than the beer!
