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.

Draft at Bailey’s Taproom, Portland. An unclear amber beer with a thin light brown beer. The aroma is sweet malty malty and fruity and hoppy aroma. The flavor is sweet and very hoppy leading to a dry very bitter finish with notes of grass and grapefruit.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of MaltOMeal. Pours a hazy amber with an off-white head. Aroma of fruit and vitamin C. Medium body, a little low in carbonation, overripe fruit and sweet caramel. Hardly any bitterness. Not the most exciting Barley Wine. 220909

Luminescent bright amber appearance. Chewy, earthy...and big. The usual brown sugars, earthy hops and chewy caramels. Decently made, archetypal barley wine. Damnit, I waited 15 years for this!
