Time In A Bottle

Bigfoot is definitely a very visible example at most bottle shops, but I have also had Dogfish Head’s Olde School Barleywine and found it to be eminently sippable.

Bigfoot nowhere to be found, or any other barleywine.
Checked Sierra Nevada’s website, they start making Bigfoot in January.
Will buy a 6 pack, put in basement, drink one every Christmas.

How did Lutra work out for you ?

Thanks

Unless it has changed, Bigtroot only comes in bombers.

Not that I’ve seen.  I most commonly see it in 6 packs of 12 oz. bottles.

6 Packs.

You must be thinking of Barrel Aged Bigfoot, which IIRC was in a Corked and Cage 22 or 750 ml bottle.

Lutra/S-189 split batch Helles is expected to be tapped this weekend.  I had to wait for a few tasters to be lined up based on their availability.  We will see if they show for the tasting panel as intended.  If not, I will do a blind triangle between my wife and me.

I don’t think there’s any single answer.  I won a large comp for a bottle of barleywine that was 5 1/2 years old.  OTOH, I like IPA in the first couple weeks. Pilsner after maybe a month or so.  In general, I am not a fan of much age on most beers.

I personally believe that Maibocks (a.k.a. helles bocks) do not come into their own until at least 6 weeks of cold conditioning.  My best March beers did not come into their own until at least 2 months of cold conditioning.  That said, I brew mostly British-style ale and that is best consumed young.
