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.

Soft aroma of soya sauce, no head and a dark copper body. Flavour is soft hoppiness tempered by just a touch of malt character. Not too interesting but drinkable.
