Commercial Description:
Named to commemorate the La Salle Hotel, once a Seattle bawdy house and the original home of the Pike Brewing Company. Old Bawdy is a vintage-dated, high-gravity beer brewed with peated Scotch malt. It has a deep golden bronze color, a fruity rich taste, and an aggressive and dominating hop character with smoky undertones that are reminiscent of Scotch whiskey.

#1800, bottle. Warm wet barley grain aroma. Orange body with thin head. Had a fruity presence along with some moderate sweet chewy malted barley grain. Cigar aftertaste left on plate. Smooth enjoyable brew. Ms. Claus got me this one for me for a Christmas Present.

Hazy orangey red beer with almost no head but some sediment. Nose was very sweet caramel and a touch of alcohol. Some heat upfront and rather sweet with lots of caramel and some sweet fruit. Some citrus hops sneak in at the finish.

12 oz 2006 bottling enjoyed on Nov-8-2007. Clear copper color with a fleeting head. 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. Easy drinking now and not so rough around the edges as it was in early 2007.

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.

Bomber. 07 Vintage. Pours a brownish red color with a thin white head. Aroma is mostly fruit. Tastes of typical caramel, dark fruit, and some hop. Palate is a little thin with some sweet sugary feeling. Alcohol is present. Thanks to OldMrCrow for this one.

[1099-20080216] Tap @ Pike brewpub (Seattle, WA). Boozy pineapple yeast aroma has a tinge of mango. Clear, amber brown body with a quick foamy off-white head. Bready mango pineapple malt flavour is quite boozy. Medium-full body. Nice kick!
