Bigfoot is a beast of a beer, brimming with bold flavors of bittersweet malt and heaps of aggressive whole-cone Pacific Northwest hops. First introduced in the winter of 1983, Bigfoot is a cult-classic beer brewed in the barleywine style, meaning a strong, robust, bruiser of a beer with the refined intensity of a wine. Bigfoot is prized by beer collectors for its supreme cellarability. Under the proper conditions, it can age like a fine wine, developing new flavors and character as it matures in the bottle. Each new release or “expedition” is vintage dated. Collect your own and see the flavors develop and progress.

Sample at Ale Wine & Spirits in Powell on 02/16/2012. Clear copper color with a medium thin off-white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Short stings of lace. Caramel malt, hops and fruit in the nose. Medium to full body with flavors of roast malt, toffee, piney hops and fruit. The finish is malty up front with a piney hop aftertaste. Good Barley Wine all around.
