This ale boasts a dense, fruity bouquet; an extremely rich, intense, bittersweet palate; and a deep, reddish-brown color.

[1] Review by CityBoy1986 from Columbia, MS, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/7/2009 9:23:33 PM)
"12 oz. bottle dated 2008 poured into a pint glass.
The pour is a deep orangish-red. A very nice head recedes after a few minutes and leaves nice lacing.
The nose is of sweet malts and floral hops. Some citrus is in there as well.
The hops are dominant when first tasting the beer. A flavour of pine really stands out. Some sweetness comes out on the finish, but the bitterness is still there as well. There is a nice balance of the malts and the hops.
The mouthfeel is syrupy with a good amount of carbonation.
The brew is very drinkable for the style, but the alcoholic content means that even if I did have more than one bottle, I wouldn't have more than two or three in a night."

[2] Review by bluesandbarbq from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/1/2009 5:56:32 PM)
"This SN 2008 Edition of Bigfoot courtesy of kinger. Pours a slightly hazy copper amber with a medium head that fades leaving lots of very nice big lacing. Very little carbonation. Aromas of a blend of sweet heavy malts with caramel notes and a quite a bit of grapefruit and some piney hops. Mouth feel is rather heavy. Taste is BIG as advertised with bitter of citrus hops up front with a malty sweetness then more and more hops leaving a bitterness that lingers. A very big beer. Enjoyed this with my Tennessee Whiskey Cake. Thanks Cory."

"one of the hoppier barleywines on the market, for better or for worse. i like this one to mix things up a little. not as thick or malty as others, but full bodied and delicious. Better fresh. "

"This was probably my first barleywine style beer, it had foam all the way down the glass, took me a while to pour it . Nice color, outstanding taste that grew on me until the end.The entire time ever taste made me wish for another. Would recommend a try."

[5] Review by Criasia from fairfield, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (5/13/2008 10:13:40 PM)
"This brew poured a reddish brown color, with a swiss cheese like head that diminished rather quickly. The aroma was strong, bitter, and pine like. The mouthfee was average, medium bodied. the flavor was the best part of this brew. I have to admit it has been awhile sinse i have been rating, or for that matter, even tasting beers. So to begin my journey with this one was awsome. The flavor was bitter and piney, with a strong hop heavy flavor. great aftertaste. opverall it is really pretty delicious."
