| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 19, 2000 Not quite as good as it was last year, which tasted very similar to Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot, but still noteworthy indeed. Just a little too fruity this year. Very complex & tasty flavor though; full bodied on the palate. As far as I know, only available in the downstairs bar. MilkmanDan (1940), Eagan, Minnesota, USA

Alcohol very well-masked, very malty, subtle sweetness, caramel/toffee notes, a bit smoky. Full, good palate, but could use a bit more carbonation.
