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.

Bottle. My first in a number of years; a pleasure to find it again. Nose is malty, bread, brown sugar, a resinous, hoppy pine.
Taste is big resin, pine, grapefruit, honey, leading to brown sugar, a hint of vanilla, more pine, , dough, malt, and a peppery pine finish.
It's a wonderful beer and I have missed it.
