TORONTO, ON – Henderson Brewing has announced the release of a new beer with a name that pays tribute to a historic namesake brewery.
Duchess and Caroline Imperial Porter (10% abv) is named after the intersection – now Richmond and Sherbourne – where Robert Henderson built the first brewery in the town of York in 1804.
The beer has been aged in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels, and is described as being “big, with notes of toffee, and coffee, and roasty sweetness.”
Duchess and Caroline is available now on tap and in bottles at Henderson while supplies last.

- Greg C. is drinking a Bourbon Barrel Aged Dark Saison by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinPromising aroma with notes of spice, dark fruit, oak & vanilla. Flavour starts in the same direction but lacks depth and finishes light.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trappist Holiday Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & Dufferin1+ year old bottle. Aroma of port and spice, notes that follow in the flavour plus cherry & menthol. Some booze heat despite the age. Nice.
- Greg C. is drinking an Oude Geuze (Vieille) by Brouwerij Oud Beersel at King & DufferinNot as lip-puckeringly sour or mind-bendingly complex as some lambics, but still an old fave that I always enjoy.
- Greg C. is drinking a No Love Lost Sour Cherry Saison by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinDelivers what the name promises - a rather good Saison laced with sour cherry that is unmistakably present but not overpowering.
- Greg C. is drinking a Coffee Oatmeal Stout by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinSurprisingly good for a 20-month-old bottle. Coffee is still nice & punchy, good notes of chocolate, oats & nuts in the background.
