GREAT LAKES BREWING CO. - CHRISTMAS ALE  The smell is of spices - cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg - with some caramel malts and a touch of honey. Tastes like it smells, the spices are there, but they dont overpower like a lot of other winter style beers. Very well rounded flavor, tastes fairly sweet. No notice of the 7.5% ABV. Really solid Christmas winter ale. Great Lakes does it again.

SISTER HAZEL - ...SOMEWHERE MORE FAMILIAR  Great underappreciated band. They had 1 album before this one, but this was their major label debut. Big hit single was All For You, but the whole album is solid, as is every album they have released. These guys deserve more commercial success than they have got, just a great band with great music and songs.
