    Took me less than 2 minutes. I don't see it on their website. But it's available for purchase on several online shops. - - - https://uintabrewing.com/our-brews

    Not under Seasonal Brews either. I'd reach out to them and see what they say. Via FB or an email.

    Ya maybe.....I've had a few "bad" beers that were so sour they were undrinkable...I could have finished this one...It just wasn't what I was expecting from a BA stout/barleywine and when your in the mood.....

    I'm really excited for the 2yr release...I'll probably end up having to get them off MBC. I thought all the 2015's were infected?

    IDK how one of the tastiest BA BWs could still be available. That’s my kind of drink.

    I think that was the Prop 15? If the 15 BWs are infected, I seem to like it. LOL!

    Regular 15 bottles were infected, but I haven't seen any complaints about the barleywine.

    I have a noninfected 2015 date. I’ll try that in 2025.

    Really...There's quite a few on untapped..I saw a really good deal on some bottles on MBC and a google search turned up about a 50/50 mix of infected bottles on untapped..I think the 2015 was rated 3.8 and the 2016 was 4.6 so not a ton but there's some out there

    In honor of this exciting news https://www.beeradvocate.com/commun...-h-taylor-bourbon-barrel-aged-bigfoot.669205/ I am opening my last bottle of Vintage Barrel Aged Bigfoot.

    This is mellow and magnificent. The caramel and whiskey are soooo smoothe. Subtle raisin and vanilla add depth. The finish still has a bit of hop bite which goes well with a fairly strong oaky tobacco at the finish. No sign whatsoever of decline, this has years to go yet.

    I remember now! I was still an Alpha Hop Society member back then. And I remember seeing it at their Mills River, NC location, but I didn't get any. I'm in the minority as well, but I'm not a fan of their regular version. It's just too damn hoppy, even with some age on it. So, I didn't feel like dropping $20 on that one. Now, the new, 7-year-old version sounds good to me. I have a bottle of the regular Bigfoot, from 2015. I wonder how hoppy it still is.

    This definitely isn't too hoppy now. Between the age and bourbon the hops are just a tickle. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the 2015. To me they have far more caramel than hops at that age, but the hops can still kick a bit

    I think my local craft place has some still. That’s a creamy looking head. Not sublime in all regards like a @beergoot masterpiece mind you.
