Tap @ Cambridge Brewing Company. 13.3% according to the board. Pours a deep amber with a fine mist, pale tan head. Aroma of toffee, malt, bourbon. Continues to taste with a smooth palate and nice depth of flavour, good malt body with integrated bourbon and a gently warming alcohol linger. Excellent barley wine.

Brewery draught, 1/31/23. Lightly cloudy, medium amber. Dark beige head, moderate retention. Citrus-laced vanilla. Candied pecans and caramel apple. Rich brown sugar yielding to spicy, elegant bourbon spice. No alcohol noted. Rich, thick, malty. Intensely lovely, cherry liqueur with rich raisin and sweet vanilla. Bourbon spice/dryness balancing all the while. No hop character to this vintage, which is great. Glad that went out of style. The cherry character they've created without any cherry is remarkable. Just shy of syrupy texture is highly pleasing as well. Let's go, CBC! Will age well for years to come, indeed.
