Fresh, 2003 bottle. Ol' Sasquatch is still under the cap, sittin havin a brew w/ the boyz around the campfire.
Tawny amber with an orange glow, sticky, pale yellow head stays with the beer to the end leaving butterscotch trails behind. Slightly subdued aromas; vodka and freshly peeled tangerines, earth and flowers- unmistakably Sierra Nevada. Lush and smooth, full mouth feel going in, rich caramel malt weighs heavy on the tongue. Hop flavors of pine and grapefruit mix w/ alcohol then serious bitterness and throat heating alcohol finishes it off. Long, lingering, resinous hop dryness. SN concentrates it's Classic flavor profile in this amazing barleywine.

2001 bottling. The label makes me laugh...maybe I am easily amused. I popped the cap off and knew I was in for a ride on the Barleywine roller coaster. Had a powerful hoppy aroma even before I poured it. After the pour I can detect some grassy and caramel aromas, in addition to the hops, of course. It looks very murky, like muddy water, with a slight reddish glow to it.

I expected this to have a killer hop bite, but it is surprisingly mellow. Earthy flavors balance well with the floral notes. There is also a slight candy-like sweetness towards the end and a bit of warming alcohol as an after-effect. Leaves my mouth wanting more. I've wanted to try this brew for a long time and it has been well worth the wait. A damn good brew, and most likely even more enjoyable after a few years in the cellar. I'll have to pick up a few more bottles to let them sit; and at only $1.75 a bottle, this shall be done soon.

It poured a hazy reddish brown with little foam and nice lace. The smell of malts and citrus along with alcohol was very pugent. The taste was a creamy, sweet, citrus and alcohol and that the end a lot of bitterness. I loved this beer except for the big bite of bitter after taste. If this beer didn't have the big bitter after taste I could have rated it 4.5 to 5. This bitterness was just to outstanding and masked the true greatness of this beer.

Fresh from the 2003 batch. Characteristic barleywine deep crimson with a thick cream-colored head. Head retention is excellent. Very nice to look at. All of this adds up to a perfect 5 for appearance, not surprisingly. In the nose, there's hop character of impressive magnitude. You can tell it's hopped generously, and with different hop varieties. It's very floral and a bit tree-like overall. The malt backbone is big and strong, offering intense caramel and deep grain up for sniffing. Flavors are just as varied and complex, if not more. A rush of heavy caramel is first in the front with an underlying grain character. Near the middle, the hops come in. Very leafy, oily, and resin-like with a serious, but well-targeted bite of bitterness. Sweetness shows up in the finish. Mouthfeel is silky smooth, just perfect. Pretty smooth for a fresh barleywine, but still intense in a wonderful way! One of the best I've tasted, even without aging.

2003 release, bought locally (Grapevine floor display), 2-3 weeks in my fridge, poured at 55F, reviewed 55F-65F.

One inch of dense, light cream-colored head dies slowly leaving thick lacing. The color is a transparent deep red/red-brown.

The nose has flowers, spice, slight sweetness, soap?

Wow. Thick, complex, malty start gives way to a ton of hops. Spicy, but not like a spiced beer. The middle is complex with hops, citrus, lots of malt, alcohol, and that spiciness. Thick. Rich. Bitter. Sweet. Intense. Finish is bitter with all those hops, but my head is spinning from all the flavors.

This beer is fascinating. It's well balanced, but balanced in the sense that all my tastebuds are firing at 100%. Alcohol is evident, but takes a back seat behind all the strong flavors. I'm willing to cut it some slack on the slight over-hopping because it's from California. All in all, a good beer experience. I'm cellaring some for next year.

---
2004 release

Two inches of dense, flat, rich, light-tan head sits on a gorgeous, deep, mahogany/red-brown body. Sticky, crusty, foam lacing. Aroma sports rich, rich, oily hops with milk chocolate malt. Huge, piney hops dominate the front with a thick, buttery malt arriving fashionably late. Rich, buttery, hoppy, bitter, alcohol, hoppy finish. Did I say rich? This is a thick, malty, buttery, hoptacular classic.

2003. Pours thick, a copper-ruby color with very little head. Almost looks like a lighter maple syrup. The smell is lots of hops and sweet malt, until you take a sip and breathe in. Whoa!!! Rubbing Alcohol!!. Never noticed this before..try smelling while you're sipping..you'll see what I mean. Still a 4 for smell because you really have to try to get this effect..This beer tastes awesome. Unlike in the the smell, the alcohol is hidden well. Tons of floral hops but the malts manage to break through in the mix to make things even more interesting. My tongue is tingling after a good sip. Ever put your tongue up to a nine-volt? Try this brew...it has the same effect on your tongue!! I find something new in the taste each sip. Well done!!

Served dark amber, light crimson highlights, agreeable clarity, off-white head, minimal lace. Hoppy nose, arousing and assertive, citrusy-grapefruit bitterness throughout, no real complexity but nothing is lacking. Awe-inspiring hops profile on the palate (same as the nose), warming, the alcohol is noticeable, a note of underlying malt is detectable with a pinch of sweetness. This is a damn great quaff. The finish is citrusy, a tad tacky yet lovely. A hearty brew… it is a ‘must try’ for any beer drinker.


If Sierra Nevada’s Celebration Ale is the Pale Ale’s older brother than Bigfoot Barely Wine is their 'roid-raging father.

This was my first experience with a barley wine style ale. Tommorrow I try the Old Dominion Millenium. Anyways, back to Bigfoot. It's a nice red color, a bit cloudy. The head was very thick at first and was a creamy color, kind of like sea foam. The taste is interesting. It's got quite a bite to it, kind of peppery, but at the same time, there is evidence of some fruit, maybe something citrusy. The mouthfeel is fairly good too. It coats your mouth, so it's nice and smooth. I don't know if I could drink this too much. It's kind of like Sam Adams winterbrew. The taste wasn't that great at first, but then grew on you.

Dark purplish color, beneath a tan head. Aroma is fantastic, fresh, roasty, spicy, full of notes of caramel, toffee, nuts, berries, a beautiful blend. The alcohol content, also, is evident in the nose. Thick texture, not to be approached lightly. Take care, good friends, when confronting the species Bigfooticus Barleywinicus. Very warming, very friendly, heat and flavor floods and fills the mouth., hell, it takes over your entire head! An everlasting spark carries through this classic brew, loads of hops, backed up with a full load of malt. Always formidable, always enjoyable. I'm glad we can always count on finding Bigfoot at least once a year!
2002 edition.

(12-25-03)
Found a bottle of the 1999 edition at a store, Wow!, pre-cellared, so why sit on it longer, it's nearly 5 years old already, let's crack it and see...beautiful, bright crimson color, full, thick, fresh, bubbly, creamy head. Roasty, rich, fruity, yeasty, bread-y, biscuit-y, just amazing, uplifting, alive and luscious and lovely and ...surprisingly smooth on meeting the tongue, yet full of amazing flavor, and incredibly drinkable, fully fruity, woody, nutty, boozy, let's not forget...
hmmm, while I'm at it, why not review the 2003?
Eh, this is plenty...my devotion to Bigfoot is again justified, and I've kicked up the rankings a notch or two, for I've had further reason to bow down before it's greatness...certainly, I've never been able to "cellar" this brew this long on my own, for it's pull is irresistible, and I've always been pulled to drink it fresh down my gullet...oh, it's a mighty and a beautiful thing!
To answer myself so quickly, the 2003, after nearly a year is magnificent as you'd expect, full of rich flavor...yum, yum, yum...I'm sorry did I say "yum" yet?

2003 edition.
Pours a dark rust color with a tall and creamy light tan colored head. Pretty good retention that eventually fades into a heavy and sticky lace. Nose is dominated by strong floral hops. Some notes of fresh fruit and alcohol are also present. Taste is sweet syrupy caramel at first, but then the hops take over in a big way. Raw oily hop resins are the key player here with some additional flavors of bitter grapefruit rind, fresh pine, and a hint of dark fruits. Pretty solid and heavy mouth feel. The raw hop leaf flavor remains in a lingering aftertaste. This beer is a real treat and is one of my favorite offerings from Sierra Nevada Brewing.

I just saw the 2003 Bigfoot in the store for the first time today, so here I am with my Bigfoot in hand! It looks about the same as it always does—murky, brownish red with a tan head that lasts a lot longer than I expected it to. The light brown, infinitely small bubbles formed a blanket across the top of the glass, almost like Guinness at the outset. They then mostly retreated, like most beers’ heads do, to the safe confines of the edge of the glass. The viscosity was even higher than I remembered from last year—the beer emerged from the bottle almost as if it were port — very little splashing and no head until I raised the bottle an uncomfortable distance above the glass.

The aroma is hard to put my finger on—yeah, it’s hoppy and grapefruity with an underpinning of sweet malt (like brown sugar) and amplifying alcohol, but there’s something else too. It’s almost leathery, or even meaty, in some vague way. It also has a big, green leafiness to it: it smells like a big, dark green, oily leaf (perhaps a Magnolia leaf?) looks. On top of that, it has the burnt hop aroma that I notice frequently and comment on occasionally as well: like most of the hops were in the kettle for most of the boil.

The flavor attacks the mouth just like the nose prepared us for. The vinous, brown-sugary, leafy, thick bitterness completely coats the palate from the first sip. It’s no wonder that barleywines are an acquired taste, because if I didn’t appreciate the brewer’s skill required to make this beer, I think I’d hate it. The big, almost cloying maltiness is magnified by the substantial alcohol presence and THEN the hops come in! The massive alpha acid attack is relentless, beating my palate into unwilling submission—I will not be able to taste another beer tonight.

Like I sensed in the aroma, this beer has the burnt sensation in the flavor as well, magnified, like the sweetness, by the alcohol. That over-caramelized sugar flavor, which is so intense it’s almost like melted plastic, lingers unendingly after I swallow. Yet somehow, through all this punishment, I can’t wait for another sip. I also can’t wait to try my bottle of 2002 side-by-side with this 2003 to see how much of the crippling harshness wore off after a year of cellaring.

*Vintage 2003*

As I told Elvis Presley last year when we were playing Cards with Lord Lucan whilst monster watching at Loch Ness - I don’t believe in the existence of Bigfoot’s. But to my astonishment and utter surprise, fellow BA DavidBanner managed to catch one recently and gave it me for further investigation.

A rare example of this mythical being, this sub-species was the Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine Style Ale, a long named beer that comes in a short 12 fl.oz. bottle. The Cap says simply Bigfoot 2003 Expedition.

A huge tanned head is generated as I poured the beer, which settles to a superb looking 2” deep foamy-tastic looking froth that laces and sticks to the sides of the glass like Sasquatch manure “cling-ons” stick to untrimmed fur. The body of the beer is a majestic looking powerful deep mahogany copper color with a slight haze. It really looks the part.
The nasal quality is strong and very deep. It fills the back of the Cranium with roasted smells and odors that expand the veins, capillaries and fires off intense brain activity.
This beer really drinks to its mighty 9.6% ABV; a mighty mouth warming alcohol kick introduces this beer. Hop-bitterness is strong in the beginning and signposts a smooth road surface through to the beers malty middle. Then a ride downhill culminates with a warming finish that will give your cheeks a ruddy complexion and a glow in your eyes.

This is no man in a fur suit. It’s the real thing. An Excellent Barley Wine ‘style’ Ale. Sipped during a warm 76 Degrees Fahrenheit night in Long Beach whilst sat on my balcony – somehow does not do justice to this most warming of beers. I want to share this drink in an isolated snow encrusted cabin cuddled-up with someone very special. (I wonder what that waitress from Lucky Baldwins is doing next week). What a beer!!!

So you don’t still believe in Bigfoot’s then?? I have seen one in Captivity. But I would still dearly love to see one in the wild though, "On Tap". That pleasure still awaits me.

UPDATE: This baby is awesome when fresh - Drink quickly - no need to cellar ! Carbonation is more pronounced. Huge citrus (grapefruity?), piney hop aroma and flavor ! Less sediment and alcohol much less pronounced !

Smokey rusted bronze color with a low light brown head and lots of sediment. It had a bit more lace and head in the fresher version. Big hoppy aroma (hops degrade after aging) and a light alcohol smell. Big malt and hop flavors blend nicely ! Intense malt and bitterness (hop degredation drag this one down with age). Full bodied and smooth/creamy with a big warming alcohol finish.

Note: this beer was #32 in Stuart Kallen's "The 50 Greatest Beers in the World"

Per R.P. - W.B.G. book: "Nugget for bitterness, late addition of Cascade for aroma, and Cascade and Centennial for more aroma during conditioning"

**Vintage 2003**

Pours to a nice beautiful dark amber color. A little head on top, not to much to get excited about. Strong hop pressence in the front of the mouth and hints of the alcohol potency in the back of the mouth. But probably not bad enough to ruin whatever different beer you may drink afterwards. Good beer, but it doesn't seem to live up to the hype I've heard from friends and fans of this beer.

2003 edition. Pours a dark amber color with a white head. This is an excellent beer. Prominent hoppiness with a massive malt backbone. Everything I want in a barleywine. The only thing that kept this from getting a 5.0 was a quickly dissipating head, but with flavours this tasty it's ok. A great barleywine.

Aahh - I pulled this one out of my closet the other night after hiding and forgetting about it for a year. This is a 2002, and i can sure tell the difference after letting this baby age for a year.

It poured a cloudy copper-red color with a nice rich tan head that soon fell to a ring and a nice lacy blanket across the top of the beer.

The smell is fabulous and complex - a rich malty sweet with a vail of citrusy hops. I can not tell that there is a winner for most prominant, because it seems they co-exist in perfect rich harmony.

The taste is great. sweet and malty at first, gliding over the tounge like a slippery eel and leaving a bitterness in the back that makes you long for another drink, more maltyness to compliment the after-taste.

The mouthfeel is great, easy on the tounge. This beer is great, and of course i wish i would have held out with the five that i dranke prematurely - hell, this one was probably a little premature, but hay, a year takes a lot of self controll.

I will seek and destroy a sixer of this years addition - hopefully, and just maybe get another sixer to stash and hopefully forget.

A 1995 edition! Poured into a large snifter, despite a vigorous pour there was no head at all, no lace. Dark brown you can not see through, with speckles of sparkling bits of I don't know what. The aroma is that of the 2002 I had a few weeks ago. malt and tart candy. The taste of malt is overwhelming, but in a good way, surprisingly fresh! Smooth mouthfeel, creamy and slightly tart. A fine crisp finish with a big alcohol bite but not too much for a beer aged 7 plus years. Sip it slow, as I did, and enjoy, as I did!

2002 edition.

Hazy orange-copper color beer pours with a minimalist tan head that quickly fades to a thin ring along the edge of the glass. Strong fruit and alcohol aroma smells mostly like plums. Perhaps a touch of hops in the nose as well. The taste is very hoppy, much more than the other barleywines I've had. Also unlike the others, this one is not overly sweet. Reminds me more of a robust, powerful IPA than the sweet barleywines I have become familiar with. A bit more fruitiness and sweetness shows after a few more drinks, but this is an amazingly balanced beer. (even the "Hop burps" are both sweet and hoppy!) Very nice bitterness on the finish. Can't quite place the type of hops, but it tastes like possibly Liberty or Cascade. The mouthfeel is not as syrupy thick as others. While this hurts my mouthfeel rating a bit, it elevates the drinkability. Even with the high ABV, I could drink several of these. Really a great winter warmer. Perfect for a night when we might be hitting single digits. Or any night that you want a powerful, well balanced beer. On top of the great beer, the label on the bottle is decent as well. If you are a beer fan, find this beer.

2002 Bottle: Another winner thanks to the Hollingshead Deli in Orange. Deep amber color with a thin and rocky off-white head. Huge toasty malt aroma. Flavor of malt, alcohol and dark fruit. This is easily the hoppiest Barley Wine I have had, but it actually works pretty well. The hops make it more drinkable than the usual overly sweet malt/alcohol found in most Barley Wines. This would be a great beer to age for a year or two.

Pours a hazy deep amber with a pillowy beige head. Sticky lace covers the sides of the glass. Aroma is very complex... port wine, raisins, herbs, pepper, and a touch of pine. Flavor is very bold... semi-sweet chocolate and raisins, with a grainy middle, some pepper and herbs, and an in-your-face bitterness to finish things off. The hops are quite intense. The alcohol is very prominant in the finish as well. Has a syrupy mouthfeel with mild carbonation. Suffers a bit in the drinkability department, because of the intense flavors and high bitterness. I wouldn't drink this very often. Even so, this is one of the best Barley Wine Ales I've come across.

I got a chance to savor this one on tap at Lucky Baldwin's, man is this stuff not to be dealt with by the weak. This is the first time I try a Barley Wine style ale and it was sure memorable.The color was a deep amber with a nice light head. The taste is a bitter with a fresh light essence of caramel and i believe hops.. The drinkablity is going to be low, the ABV of 9.6 rated here doesnt feel close, in fact I believe this one had a lot more for I was in unexpected high gravity country and I wasn't coming back till the next morning. Overall a good one, enjoy at ease.

This beer is the first Barley Wine Style i had. It pours a nice amber colour topped by an enormous thick head. This beer is VERY bitter, due to the hoppiness of course. It's the most bitter beer i've ever had so far. Aroma is dominated by hops and alcohol (ABV is %9.6). Taste is also dominated by hops. This beer is certainly for heavy drinkers and i find it a bit poor on the drinkability. I wouldn't have another one. Just one should be O.K

Mmmm, big beer. Tasty big beer, full of caramel and nut skins and citric hops. An alcoholic praline. Profound amber hues and sticky fingers of lace. Sasquatch nose of toffee, sour fruits and ferns. Most excellent and more like the toothless tree-topping critter from Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer than any hairy, scary Pacific Northwest beastie. A quick, happy sipper.

The very first barley wine-style ale that I had and it is still one of my favorite beers of all time. This bottle is from the 2001 batch. Pours a cloudy amber color with no head at all. The smell is sweet sherry with a dose of hops. The alcohol is very prominent, more prominent than I remembered. I am going to wait until this one warms up a bit in terms of temperature.

While I wait, there is a cool drawing under the cap. A "bigfoot" sitting by the fire with two guys.

I had this on tap at Redbones this summer and it was amazing.

Now that the temperature has come up a bit the ale becomes more smooth and balanced. The alcohol isn't so pronounced.

Still one of my favorites and I can't wait for 2002 to come out.

Last years 2001, Unlike any barley wine I have ever had.Lots and lots of hops, like most of their beers. I like hops so I love this barley wine., citrusy and sweet aroma aroma, malty as hell, and loaded with hops, I always like the bigfoot, gets alot better aged for at least a year, mellows the hop out a bit.
