On Tap At Volo
This was a real treat, and a surprise. Deep black pour with a fluffy mocha head. Aroma of roasted malt, touches of coffee, and chocolate, and some really nice sweetness in the form of brown sugar, and maybe some vanilla. The flavor was very satisfying, more oft he brown sugar, vanilla sweetess mixed with the dark roast of the malt, and coffee. A very nice stout!

Soft coffee on the nose and a bit of head over a jet black body. Flavour is good coffee and roasted barley, filling on the mouth. Not exceptional but this stout hits all the notes.

Keg at Stillwell, Halifax. It pours black with a long-lasting creamy tan head. The nose is soft, ash, sweet roast, coffee, cocoa, creamy, earth, dried fruits and liquorice. The taste is bitter, earthy, charred wood, burnt malt, light pepper, treacle, ash, cocoa, liquorice and coffee grounds with a dryish finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Has decent body, but not much flavour to carry it. Fine.

Draught @ Barvolo, Toronto. Pours cloudy very dark brown with airy light tan head. Clear aroma of malt and roast with caramellish notes and hints of fruit. Roasty flavour with notes of coffee and touches of yeast and hints of fruit. Roasty and coffeelike aftertaste. Low carbonation. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Decent.

Draught at C’est What, Toronto
Black color, with creamy head. Aroma of roasted malts, roasted nuts, a bit buttery. Lowly carbonated; it has a decent flavor of roasted malts and coffee, it’s also a bit buttery; correct bitterness, and some ashes in the end.

Nice chocolat moka nose, with a deep night colour and a nice moka head. Lots of chocolate notes, but again some sourness. Thin but still interesting.
