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.

Sample during Blarney Wine Festival 2025 on 03/15/2025. Clear dark copper color with a medium frothy off-white head that recedes gradually to a film. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt, caramel, fruit and hops. Medium to full body with flavors of caramel malt, ripe fruit and earthy hops. The finish is mildly hoppy up front with a sweet malt aftertaste. Hops have faded but still holding up pretty well.

OMT Advent Day 5 - 5 years old. Had to rely on Haket for this one and they definitely delivered a suiting OMT.
