A few weeks ago I picked up this year’s release of Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot Barleywine. Even though a two year vertical isn’t all that dramatic, I invited a friend over to have a taste from both last year’s and the new and compare notes.
Here are the tasting notes from each:
In honor of our Final Gravity friend Matt who has moved on to a professional brewing carerr with Abita Beer and in honor of it being Mardi Gras season, I’m presenting tasting notes on Abita’s seasonal Maibock
.
Occasionally, I will try to post reviews of some of the commercial examples that I pick up. Especially if I’m doing research for a recipe that I’m developing. I’ll try to post them in the same format that I would use to score a beer in a BJCP competition. Since these are my opinions and not a blind tasting, I will not be giving them a numerical score, just a range of where I think it might fit. Feel free to agree or argue!
Since we’ve just gotten Lost Abbey/Port Brewing distribution in Georgia and since I’ve recently been thinking about saisons, I’ll start with Red Barn
