Sierra Nevada Bigfoot

Poured from bottle a clear reddish-brown with a good sized light-tan head. Bottles says 2008 25th expedition. Aroma is floral hoppy, but not overly so, with a touch of caramel. The taste comes in as toffee sweet quickly turning to bittersweet gratefruitty. Big malty mouth feel with a roof top warming effect. The alcohol is not very noticible and my glass seems to have emptied. Yum.

Pours slightly dark amber with a fair amount of head. First thing I noticed was the fair amount of hop aroma. Malty backbone which is offset by the hop bitterness and flavor. Very easy to drink. An excellent barley wine.

A dark amber pour with modest head. Very hoppy aroma, slightly sweet. Excellent lacing. Nice medium consistency. Good active carbonation. A little spicy. Very bitter in a good way of course. No alcohol taste. One of the best biers I’ve had.

A great barleywine. I remember it being somewhat akin to an IPA, but since I’ve lost my notes, I can’t really be sure...

On pour from a bottle you can smell the alcohol. It pours to nice head with touches of brown. A nice amber or reddish color.

Poured amber with a fluffy off white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, and candy. Good balance between hops and malt. Big hops bite up front followed by mellow sweet caramel malt.

Pours dark amber, off white head, nose of hops and ruby red grape fruit Sweet, citrus flavor, well hopped, grapefruit presence, very sticky, but very enjoyable not my favorite style, but rather enjoyable

This is my second barley wine. I was expecting something sweeter from this but I like it. very hoppy with a bitter grapefruit finish that turns sweet afterwards. nice appearance and a good frothy head. 2008 edition, 12 oz. bottle.
