Sierra Nevada's Bigfoot Barleywine tied with New Belgium's Fat Tire Amber Ale as AHA members' favorite beer in 2006. This delightfully full-bodied barleywine packs about 9.6% in ABV, which not only won it a spot in the Zymurgy's 2006 Best Beers in America, but also in the three years preceding its first place glory.
Sierra Nevada likes to describe the beer as having "a dense, fruity bouquet; an extremely rich, intense palate; and a deep, reddish-brown color. This ale is superbly balanced between an almost overpowering maltiness and a wonderfully bittersweet hoppiness."
This clone recipe was created by Jim Parker, which appeared in "Zymurgy Magazine's 2nd Annual Best Commercial Beers in America Survey" in the 2006 July/August Zymurgy.
