Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barley Wine.



Real malty, but not sweet, nose. Way hoppier than I would expect from a barley wine. Almost imperial IPA-ish. Hints of chocolate on the finish. Average-bodied in the mouth, slightly lighter viscosity than I would prefer but still a thick and persistent finish. In contrast to Widmer Deadlift Imperial IPA, this is a barleywine that wishes it were an imperial IPA.
