Is anyone interested in doing a verticle tasting of Bigfoot? I only have a 2010, 2011 and 2012 to contribut but I would bring some other cool shit if we could get a few more years in there. I heard somone has a 2007 but doesnt want to be the oldest vintage in. I guess he's been looking for older vintages as well.

I have 2003, 2005, and 2008 that I would be willing to donate to the cause of such a verticle tasting!

Just popped open an 06 yesterday. Yum. I have some from there onward. I'll contribute an 06 and maybe a few later. It's definitely a brew that needs to mellow out for a while.

I'd really love to do this, but all I've got is a bunch of 2011. Though I do have a bottle of Fullers 2006 that I could break out for comparison.

If you will have me I would love to participate. I have nothing to offer other than my company. I can offer my man cave to host with approval from the boss. My bigfoot rarely makes it past one year to age.

I don't have any bigfoot to offer but I have a 2008 Schlafly Reserve I would be willing to contribute if a tasting comes together.

Perhaps a barleywine tasting is in order with the Bigfoot verticle as the main attraction. I have a New Glarus Barleywine but only one 12 oz. bottle. I also hear it is underwhelming for a New Glarus special release.

I could bring a Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Black Barleywine (2010).

I could bring 2007, 2008 and 2009 Lost Abbey Angels Share (Bourbon Barrel) to the tasting. Well, if I owned them but I don’t so I could bring Anheuser-Busch Barleywine.

I have a couple bottles of the New Glarus Barley wine and it is underwhelming. I was worried straight off by how light it was in color. I will also offer up my Sam Adams Griffen's Bow. It seems to be getting rave reviews. *cough*
