Year of New Beer: Where The Buffalo Roam, Cameron's Brewing Co (Ontario)

Written By: Dion on 12/10/2018

A barrel aged barleywine, in a 16oz can, for less than four bucks? I'll bite. Nose has really nice notes of plum, grape, and caramel atop leather, oak, and piney hops. Alcohol builds with warmth, getting a bit on the nail polish side of things. On the tongue, the dark fruits make a fleeting appearance before succumbing to sharply bitter hops and drying alcohols. Not nearly enough caramel malt to balance the bitterness and heat. Finishes harsh with aeration doing little to change that.
