beer_name: Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine Style Ale
text: 02 batch This beer poured a deep amber-gold with a nice white head that reduced down to a thin layer on top of the brew. The smell is complex with a fruity smell with obvious alcohol aroma's and plenty of hops. The taste starts out a bit sweet but that is quickly overwhelmed by the warmth of the alcohol. The finish and aftertaste is all crisp hops with a constant lingering of the alcohol. This beer has a definite warming effect. I'm not sure what kind of hops are used but they are not really bitter, almost more of a grassy taste. Not bad at all, I probably couldn't drink a great deal of this at one time but isn't bad every once in a while.
