Raison D'etre is growing on me. Halfway through the six pack so far. Not good with a meal but I am enjoying it as a post dinner libation.

I just sampled the 90 minute last night. Great beer! My favorite Dogfish Head beer so far. Much better than the 60 minute. It is smoother and better tasting despite 1/3 higher ABV. at 9%, it is not the strongest ABV beer I have sampled, but is right up there with Double Bag as being one of the better beers in that nearing double digits range. Though the $8.50 price tag for only four bottles was a bit rough so this is definitely a beer for a special occasion. Can't really put it up against my beloved Harpoon IPA due to the exceptionally high ABV and price tag, so definitely not going to wrestle Harpoon out of my session category go-to beer.
Had a Woodstock the other day... can't remember if it was a lager or an ale, but in either case, very unimpressive. Reminded me of a SA Lager which is only one step away from the horrible mass market national beers. Not terrible but certainly far from anything special in the craft brew market.

$8.50 for the 90min is a pretty decent price, usually more like $10 when I see it.
I bet that owuld be $12 here in PA for a four pack..What does a case go for??? I'd be messed up the whole weekend on a case of that...like comatose...I had some Magic Hat #9 earlier and now I'm going to have a Guinness..Sierra Nevade and Yuengling at my parents house for when I go over there later...it's nice to have beer all over town..
Got teh Magic Hat sampler pack- #9, Circus Boy Hefe, Roxy Role, Strange Notion. All pretty tasty, none of a particularly distinctive style. THe Strange Notion is their winter offering- pretty tasty. I was drinking straight from the bottle (all our glasses are hidden as we destroy the kitchen), and was quite surprised to see how dark it was when I dumped the dregs.

40 oz plastic twist off and a wino bag.
If I could find it, I'd drink it.
This stuff came in the Brewmaster packs I got. It has to be one of the most vile beers I've ever suffered through. Perhaps Magic Hat Saint Gootz is worse. I couldn't even finish one of those. At least I can choke this Scotch Ale down...![]()
