Cask at Volo’s ’Pre-Cask Days’ event. Pours a dark deep ruby with no head. Aroma’s slightly roasty along with a bit of smoke, some coffee and dark fruit -- quite nice actually. Flavour’s not quite as nice, it’s a bit watery and only very lightly roasty along with light hops -- it’s still good though. Light to average bodied. A pretty good Porter.

Cask@Volo. Aroma of cocoa, coffee and alcohol, black, zero head. Flavour has a fair amount of cocoa, chocolate, malt and mild coffee. Light bodied, balanced with bitter notes, alcohol is well integrated. Very nice.
