Oldest bigfoot in your cellar?

2013

Too busy drinking the damn things

 

Did try a 2008 - awesome stuff!

 

I'm down to 4 bottles of 2008, which is the oldest I have

 

2005 here but I know i'm gonna see some posts here that make me jealous.

 

2009 and I wish I had more... I will be stashing at minimum a 4 pack every year from now on. I much preferred it with a few years of age on it.

 

2010

 

I want someone's old Bigfoot. Beermail me please I have some good stuff

 

I have a 1992 (been in the same fridge since I bought it). I have a bunch of "vintage" beers, like a 1991 thomas hardy, 1999 Alesmith Wee Heavy, line up of 1996 De Dolles and more (didn't really intentionally age them - just kind of stuck a bunch of high abv beers in a fridge in my garage in the '90s and didn't think about them). BM me if you are interested in this sort of thing.

 

2011 sadly. I can't control myself.

 

I only have 2012 and 13 being as though I just got into the craft scene within the last year. I figured bigfoot is not going away anytime soon so I can start my collection here.

 

Mine is a 2008, but a local guy, beer geek and friend, has a few 1986s (actually he has 1986-up). He refuses to part with them. I can't stand it fresh, but 5 years turns that hop bomb into something pretty damn luscious. I'm trying to save one until the decade mark hits, I think that'll be the perfect spot for it.

 

Just acquired a 2002 at a local bottle shop yesterday!

 

The oldest Bigfoot in my cellar is 1984. The label is in black and white and the cap is solid gold with no vintage dating.

 

We opened a 1988, 1995, 1996, and 1998 at a tasting on Saturday. They were quite tasty!

 

Is there a way to generalize how this one develops?

 

You should drink the Bigfoot when your fridge dies as homage!

 

Bottleworks? I picked one up there too. What a deal, an 11 year old bear for less then $7. Did you pick up any of the cellared HOTD? I had it a couple of days ago. It's the first vintage bigfoot I've had but for my tastes it was way over the hill. Sure it was malty and maybe a little caramely for me there wasn't much going on. I'd much rather try one that is only 4-5 years old.

 

Ha, good guess, I love Bottle Works. Na man, I didn't feel like paying 20 something dollars for a 12 oz beer that, in your words, could be over the hill. Figured the Bigfoot was worth it for the price. Ya know what did turn out well tho? The 2008 Stone Imperial Russian Stout! Effing delicious.

 

I have 1994 through 2013. Need to do a vertical.
