On tap at brewery. Amber orange pour. Small beige head. Toasted malt nose has nutty notes. Flavor mirrors aroma. Toasted malt, spicy hops and brewed black tea. Accent is more on the malt. Balanced nicely. Decent.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, good fine carbonation. Light malts, nicely sweet. Aggressive hops, spicy. Light pine. Rich citrus and tropical fruits. More spice on the dry back end. Full on. Good shit, especially on cask.

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, 5/16/23. Clear dark brown, small, beige head. Chocolate, raisin, brown bread, cacao. Some Vanilla and licorice. Clean, not boozey. Soft, malty, bready, chocolatey, with a hint of tar and ash. Sticky treacle, light roast and lingering cacao and bitter bakers chocolate. Love the little bit of sticky oomph to the body despite it's well attenuated character.

Brewery draught, 5/16/23. Heavily hazy, murky, muted bronze. Small, white head, moderate retention. White 🍷 ne, some earth and mineral, maybe a touch of popcorn. Cracker and honey-like malts, no pine or resin. Juicy, mega white wine, citrus peel bitterness, soft honey-like malts. It's a one trick pony on the wine but that is my favorite expression of these hops so it's endearing. Gets a bit acidic/piney/bitter on the finish despite the well-done maltiness.

Brewery draught, 5/16/23. Clear prickly pear juice. No head. Woah that's wild. Cardamom adds a minty fresh note but the juicy prickly pear doesn't allow it to get dominant or too acidic. Lime rounds things out. Minty, juicy, cactus, spicy. Weird as shit but that was inevitable here. Lighter body, but still enough. Definitely a good dryness. Cardamom is ambitious but not astringent or too dominant. Maybe could still be dialed back a touch more, though. Clean.
