The Second one was Dogfish Head's Raison D'etre (I think that is the spelling). Nice packaging and presentation and on the side of the box it read, "Beer of the Year 200? " I can't remember the year. But having that on it, it must be good right?

The Buffalo Bill is one of my favorites, tied with Post Road for my personal #1 Pumpkin beer. Were you drinking it out of the bottle or a glass? Try pouring it if you haven't already. I will agree that many pumpkin beers tend to smell better at the first whiff than subsequent tastes, but it should be better than water/bud light.
DFH does have some weird stuff. The odd sounding ones I avoid. I'm a sucker for raspberry though so I tried a bottle of 'Fort'. One of the only beers I poured out, definitely a disappointment. But their 'beer-flavored' beer is awesome.
