Bigfoot is a beast of a beer, packed with bittersweet malt and heaps of aggressive whole-cone Pacific Northwest hops. First introduced in the winter of 1983, Bigfoot is a cult-classic brewed in the barleywine style—strong and robust with the refined intensity of a wine. Bigfoot is prized by beer collectors for aging in cellars. Under the proper conditions, it can develop enticing new flavors and character as it matures in the bottle. Each new release or “expedition” is vintage dated. Collect your own and savor the evolving flavors.

2017. Misty red-brown, off white head. Fresh aroma, dry maltiness, vague alcohol, some hoppy touches. Dry, dangerously drinkable taste, tea, herbal bitterness, good bitterness. Nice!

Big drastic label change but the beer remains the same. Thank gawd for that. And that it's back in 6-packs.

2017 re-rate: Tap at J’s. Pours a clear amber with a finger of foam that lingers. Big hoppy nose with lots of pine. More caramel and pine. Big muscles on the body though. Bitter finish. Old rating. 12oz bottle from Old Town. Clear reddish copper pour with thin off-white head. Grapefruit zest, apricot, prune, caramel and toffee. Thick rich with a medium body. Sweet and bitter on the palate. Well-balanced. Bit of vanilla comes out as it warms up. Warming finish with nice lingering bitterness. Great stuff!
