12 British ounces (or weird 341ml 😬😁) @ 🏡 shared with Phill and Alex. Another 2005 beer of the night 😁
Aroma: inky, leather, some tobacco.
Taste: along the same lines, but it is very ashy with a touch of acidity.
Overall: it's ok now, but very good considering that it is 20+ years old.

Volo Cask Days 2009. Good black pour, small frothy nose, Sweet/roasty aroma, the strawberry seems a little muted with slight nuances of fruit. Flavor is roasty, with some chocolate, and some sweetness that isnt exactly strawberry, but it was still fruity. Not bad, not great.

got a case from the LCBO.
WIcked roasty/coffee/chocolate aroma. Flavour is smooth, and loaded with chocolate, and coffee, with a touch of sweetness, and a nice chocolate bitterness. a wonderful easy drinking stout.

Found some old tasting notes from when i had this on tap at the beer bistro WAY back in 2005. Aroma is very hoppy, and also malty, its like an intoxicating caramel, and citrus. Wow, i could smell this all day. Flavour is very nicely balanced, lots of bitterness in the finish, a very good brown ale. Perry is Canada’s best brewer

341 stubby bottle.
Subtle british hops, decent caramel malt flavor with a touch of biscuit. Some hoppy bitterness lingers, not a bad session ale.

very nice aroma, slightly smokey, wicked molasses, and burnt brown sugar notes, with some slight burnt toast. Flavour is nice, but i find it lacks alot of the complexity of the aroma. Its slightly wattery, and a tad sour? It does have a very nice coffeeish aftertaste, and a nice bitterness. Overall a nice effort, and a good stout.

on tap at the Toronto Beer Fest
Wow, very nice! the vanilla really comes out, its subtle, but its there in a big way. very smooth, and the coffee, and smokiness of the porter are still very detectable, superb!

on tap at volo quite some time ago.
i recall it looking good, and having and aroma of grains, and malt.
flavour was bitter, definite hoppiness to it. nice biscuity malt in the background.

orange, amber color. some hops in the aroma, but its faint, more malt than i would expect from an IPA, the bitterness is there, but i’m missing the floral citrus of the hops i would come to expect. i think this beer has gone downhill over the years, I’ll stick with the tankhouse in the Toronto area.
