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.

12oz bottle showing its age. Malt and pine, but cardboard also on the nose. Oxidation hidden by the booze a bit, but this one probably only benefits with more time now.

I don't always love hoppy barleywines, but this one is fantastic.
