Malty sweet pit fruit aroma with some hot alcohol. Medium/heavy body. Pit fruit and caramel sweetness with some dry malt flavor. has a nicely bitter hop alcohol tang to finish.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 8, 2008 Vintage 2007. 22oz bottle courtesy of Travisd13. Pours a rather brilliant reddish/amber color with very little off-white head, no lace. Smells slightly of spicey malts but mostly of fruity hops, not overpowering but nice. Taste is very hoppy but not the spicey kind of sweet hops you get with most BW’s. This is a mellow red fruity hoppiness with the spicey malts kicking in on the finish. Medium body, very smooth. Mellow but sufficient carbonation. travita (1908), Frisco, Texas, USA
