Pint at Bar Volo pours a murky black with a big cap of beige head. Nose is classic, malt and oats and licorice and molasses. Like a full bodied Guinness, malt and oat and some cocoa. Just off dry finish.

Can: Poured a pinkish color ale with a medium white foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of tart notes with some nice raspberry and hibiscus notes that are easily noticeable. Taste is also a mix of tart notes with some fresh raspberry and hibiscus notes and light residual sugar notes. Body is about average with great carbonation. Enjoyable sour with a good level of complexity.

Freshly canned 946ml in front of me at the brewery. Clean, brown colour with amber highlights, a frothy light-beige head, decent retention and big fluffy lacing. Darker cereal malt aromas with woody notes, some caramel and lots of hops cutting the sweetness. The grassy hoppiness continues into the taste, creating a fair dry finish. Not as sweet as the nose, as the darker cereal base stays low in here. A nice, hoppier Brown Ale.
