Talk about packaging. Guldenberg comes first wrapped in paper, then a bottlecap hides a cork that needs removed with a corkscrew. If only the corkscrew had come out with that pleasing effervescent pop. (There was plenty of fizz nonetheless.) Ah - ignore that. Let's get to the beer.

Dogfish Head is quickly becoming one of my favorite breweries. Luckily, we keep a stock of beers in the fridge at work for Friday afternoons and this afternoon a six-pack of Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre was in there. The color on this beer is pretty awesome - a deep mahogony / copper color, its neither orange or red. A strong beer, its chock full of belgian malts and looks great. The aroma is sweet and estery, with a touch of candy and raison - its brewed with green raisons, afterall.

In the midst of last minute shopping on Dec 24th, I stopped to pick up some holiday beers to bring along on the Christmas party circuit.  Based on how much I liked Wachusett's Green Monsta Ale, I was eyeing their Winter Ale - but scotch ale's just don't do it for me.  While looking for alternatives, the clerk at the package store recommended Blue Moon's Full Moon Winter Ale.
