Yep, Best really has a winner with the Red X. Not only is the color really appealing, but they didn't sacrifice anything on the flavor side with it either. I keep saying that I'm going to pick up a sack and use it as my house base malt for a while, and I might do it soon.
I have a feeling that it won't end up red, but an all Red X barleywine sounds like it would be a damn nice beer.
