Feb 16, 2009 Pours a dark brown with a 1 1/2 finger dark beige head. I really enjoy hops, so this barley wine was right up my alley. Have only had a few other barley wines, so not much to compare to. Would drink this again and again.

Feb 15, 2009 This brown beer poured with a decent beige head and a hoppy caramel aroma. This is perhaps the hoppiest barleywine I have had. The flavor starts off syrupy and sweet, but quickly becomes bitter with a warm alcohol trail. There’s a lot of everything in this brew, making it an interesting and tasty treat.

Feb 15, 2009 09 bottle. Pours brown with off white head. Aroma of caramel malts with a big hoppy nose. Taste good caramel malts, with good dose of sugar, counterbalanced by bittering hops. Solid barley wine with a stronger emphasis on hops. I prefer a little less hop in a barley wine

Slightly sweet.
To much hops for my taste; started mid sip and gets strong at end..

Feb 15, 2009 Updated: Feb 17, 200912 oz bottle of 2009 Bigfoot. Pours clear, red-tinged brown, with a medium off-white head. Pours clear, red-tinged brown, with a medium off-white head. Aroma is hoppy citrus and spice, with some sweetness, bread, hints of caramel and dark fruit, and a bit of alcohol hotness. Flavor is spicy hops up front, citrus hops, grains, caramel. Quite a hoppy barley wine, very tasty. Re-rating another bottle as I believe my palate was somewhat off the day of my first rating due to lack of sleep.

Feb 14, 2009 Deep amber color with a creamy off white head. Grainy aroma with a hint of fruit. Very rich body, sweet flavor with a bitter and slightly dry finish.

Feb 14, 2009 2009 Bottle. Very impressed with this one. Picked up a 6 pack of these recently not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. Despite a lower cost and wider availability of some of the comparable choices this one stands right up to them. Good color, spiciness and hopiness. Despite a higher than 9% ABV very little alcohol taste. Highly recommend this one.

Feb 14, 2009 Bottle, 2004 Vintage, served at cellar temperature. The beer is a beautiful brownish red in the glass with a modest, off white head, plenty of lacing. The aroma is full of pine, grapefruit in the hops with some subtle fruity tones hinting underneath. I taste hop bitterness with some underlying caramel malt, more fruit, alcohol.
