Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine Style Ale
2010 addition. Poured into a snifter on a cold night. Out of the fridge for about 15 minutes and is about 55 degrees upon being served. A- Clear amber, possibly strawbeery or light red cheery. Fine bubbles rising from the bottom. Nice lacing when swirled, particularly when it warms up a bit. S- Piney hops, tropical fruit (mango, canalope). Finishs with a thin malt back bone. T- Hops up front, followed by a slight sweetness and an alcoholic bite. M- The thickness of the beer gives it an almost cough syrup like feel, but in a good way. The feel is velvety and pleasent, but followed by a very unpleasent dryness. The beers only flaw. D- Not the type of beer you want to chug, but instead a pleasent sipper.
