So ...Tiffany, this just has me scratching my head. So many people said the same thing you did. I tasted these flavors, but they were all overpowered by alcohol. I'll be sure to give Summer Solstice a try. <br /><br />Bianca, maybe I just got a one off bottle. I think I'll give it another taste next year and see what happens. Thanks for the tip on Mendocino. I'll keep an eye out for their Barleywine. After I'm done with all my winter brews, I'll pick up some of their other stuff as well.The Not So Professional Beer Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509910363270635578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234485456024491380.post-60491735087460301812010-12-17T12:41:43.713-08:002010-12-17T12:41:43.713-08:00We talked a bit about this.

It might be that they were handled differently, or that I tasted them too far apart when my expectations were coloring my palate. Either way I enjoy it, but the Mendocino Brewing's Barleywine has beat it out from my Winter Warmer favorite.The Girlhttp://www.agirlandherbeer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234485456024491380.post-57057550755625922712010-12-17T07:31:50.558-08:002010-12-17T07:31:50.558-08:00Winter Solstice is one I look forward to every yea...Winter Solstice is one I look forward to every year, mostly for the vanilla and sweet malt profile. Will be interested in seeing what you think about its counterpart, Summer Solstice upon it's return in 2011.Tiffanyhttp://www.99bottles.netnoreply@blogger.com
