I've been slacking real bad with reviews lately and have even been neglecting to review new 40s I've tried at all. This, however, is one I would like to document.

I really like this stuff. Real smooth taste. Nothing harsh or metallic about this. Manages to taste smooth and at the same time come off crisp. But I'm not gonna attempt at doing a beer-advocate type review. Not that there's anything wrong with those. I just don't know all the fancy terms.

Wow. So so much for paying exquisite attention to this 40. Just got off the phone after half an hour and I'm more or less done.

I have wanted to try Big Bear for a long time, and it didnt disapoint. I cracked it after leaving in in the frezzer for about an hour. I took a big first chug and got a brain freeze. But the taste was fine in my books, it was very smooth and not hard to choke down. It reminded me of a normal malt, kinda like a KC? The buzz was decent, I like mine 40ozs to pack a punch, so I am going to have to keep my eye... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (BigJandthe40) http://40ozmaltliquorparadise.yuku.com/sreply/158758 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 17:37:53 GMT http://40ozmaltliquorparadise.yuku.com/reply/158479/t/Big-Bear.html#reply-158479
Well, It was indeed Superior in my book. Semi weak hiss but that did not matter. The 40 was ice cold and first sip reminded me of Olde English so it is going to be a instant winner in my book.

The whole Bear went down without a problem. If I could get this would be up there with Private Stock Olde English and King Cobra as the 40's I get on the norm.

A friend of mine (whose nickname is Big Bear ) brought me this from Alberta. Had it cooling for a month (and it even froze solid at one point) before I finally cracked it.

It tasted a lot like Bull Max (SCBBS - Silver Creek Brewery BS) and not much like classic East Coast BB. It had the typical harsh HG sweetness common with 7-10% malts and was kinda hard to... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (d07c0m) http://40ozmaltliquorparadise.yuku.com/sreply/155189 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 20:04:45 GMT http://40ozmaltliquorparadise.yuku.com/reply/136565/t/Big-Bear.html#reply-136565

5.7% So i got this from a friend who lives in Oregon, i went campiong with him and he brought me one, so i hiked to the top of this ridge with it in my backpack

Drank it dry to the bone
Classic 40 with a crisp clean tast
Reminds me of King Cobra, and not because they are both intimidating animals
great 40 to have to drink and add to my collection

Been saving this for a special occasion and since today is my birthday, I guess that constitutes as a special occasion lol. Cap was pretty hard to twist.

For me, this is the standard by which all malts are judged. Low carbonation, hence little crack and hiss; however in the world of the Bear this is no indication of anything really. Has a straight up, sweet, strong-ish malt flavor, with the perfect 7.5 % taste. Seemingly Big Bears are easily skunked or something, as I mentioned before; the taste can be pretty variable, but the good... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (beam21) http://40ozmaltliquorparadise.yuku.com/sreply/20832 Sat, 14 Jul 2007 01:33:10 GMT http://40ozmaltliquorparadise.yuku.com/reply/20831/t/Big-Bear.html#reply-20831 feeds@yuku.com (Alvin Karpis) http://40ozmaltliquorparadise.yuku.com/sreply/20831 Wed, 07 Feb 2007 22:15:47 GMT http://40ozmaltliquorparadise.yuku.com/reply/20830/t/Big-Bear.html#reply-20830 feeds@yuku.com (JoeWebberlione) http://40ozmaltliquorparadise.yuku.com/sreply/20830 Sun, 31 Dec 2006 20:00:29 GMT http://40ozmaltliquorparadise.yuku.com/reply/20829/t/Big-Bear.html#reply-20829 feeds@yuku.com (bbooze) http://40ozmaltliquorparadise.yuku.com/sreply/20829 Mon, 22 May 2006 01:28:37 GMT http://40ozmaltliquorparadise.yuku.com/reply/20828/t/Big-Bear.html#reply-20828 feeds@yuku.com (LMSCRacer) http://40ozmaltliquorparadise.yuku.com/sreply/20828 Sun, 21 May 2006 19:01:59 GMT http://40ozmaltliquorparadise.yuku.com/topic/917/t/Big-Bear.html American (5.7%): My 1st bottle was found by a bit of luck & a bit of genious.
