Delicious Reserve 2015 BA BW that I popped open the other day. Had picked up at Alehouse during Beer Safari in No Cal early last year. Had been highly recommended by restaurant manager, and I'm here to tell you it was a great beer. Very nice hop profile...rich and aromatic, but still more subdued in an English BW style. The dried fruit and plum flavors really came out with the zinfandel barrel flavors. Had a sense of port to it in the background. ABV noticeable but not at all distracting. Very smooth; full but not heavy. Expected sweetness came through but not cloying or sticky. Perfect sipper. Especially after dinner on the porch with/without cigars. In my case...with :)
