Sierra Nevada likes to describe the beer as having “a dense, fruity bouquet; an extremely rich, intense palate; and a deep, reddish-brown color. This ale is superbly balanced between an almost overpowering maltiness and a wonderfully bittersweet hoppiness.” Bigfoot is a beast of a beer, brimming with bold flavors of bittersweet malt and heaps of aggressive Pacific Northwest hops. Bigfoot is brewed in the barleywine style, meaning a strong, robust, bruiser of a beer with the refined intensity of a wine. Under the proper conditions, it can age like a fine wine, developing new flavors and character as it matures in the bottle.
