It's not so much that I don't want to post here - it's just that this has been a busy semester. That and the fact that I don't like to shortchange the reader and just post notes.
That said, here are some notes!
My girlfriend loves winter, and always gets excited about winter beers. She picked up an assortment, and demanded I try each one and give notes. Frankly, none of them really blew me away; my idea of a good winter beer is just a bigger beer like an old ale or a good quadrupel. I was really surprised by how hoppy some of these beers are - hops are not, to me, a winter flavor.
Her favorite winter beer is the Anderson Valley Winter Solstice, mostly because of all the vanilla and spice flavors. Oddly we've been having a hard time finding it this year, which is why it's not in the table.
