I know It might be early, but has anyone cellaring the 2008 Big Foot ale had a taste recently? Im drinking one tonight. The Bitterness has definately mellowed a bit. The sweetness of the malt has come through, and there is some oak flavor that was not as evident originally. I have 5 more aging, and Im gonna pick up the last 6 pack at the liquor store I work at, I cant wait to taste this beer in a couple of years.

Sit on it. the SN bigfoot is typically best around 3-4 years old. It'll be worth it.

I tried it about a month ago and I couldn't pick up any difference at all from the fresh product. I'm going to do a formal write-up on a bottle soon, then it's one a year until they are gone.

Tried one of the 08's yesterday, and didn't notice any difference. The hops were maybe not quite as fresh as they were a few months ago, but that's it.

At Bottleworks in Seattle they had 03 and 04 for sale and I got to try them both. They tasted good, but I think the 03 was well past its prime.
