GregClow (3014) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 17, 2009
Cask sample at Volo Cask Days 2008. Deep ruby-brown with a small off-white head. Aroma has tons of vanilla, a bit of cocoa, a hint of smoke. Flavour has more of the same - vanilla, cocoa, hint of smoke - as well as some tobacco leaf notes. Really enjoyable, would be a great dessert beer.

On cask at Volo. Appearance: Dark brown, slight off white head. Aroma: Chocolate, smoky - very comforting, like a comfort blanket, warming. Flavour: Smoke, coffee with a chocolate finish.

[1807-20081020] Cask. Super mocha cocoa powder milk chocolate. Hazy, dark brown body with no head. Smoky cocoa flavour has a long smoky finish. Medium body is a little thin. Nice but unassertive and a little thin.

HogTownHarry (6322) - Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, CANADA - NOV 17, 2008
Cask. At Volo Cask Days 2008.Deep red-brown with an average beige creamy/frothy head. Rich aroma of chocolate with hints of leather and old tobacco (used to smoke a pipe, this reminds me some of what the pouch smelled like). Taste - perhaps a little less smooth than the aroma, but appealing - made me think of a light merlot infused with chocolate liqueur. Slick, flat mouthfeel, sweet and leathery both in the finish - tasty enough, but damn, that smelled wonderful.

Cask left over from ’Volo Cask Days 2008’. Pours a very deep orange-brown with a spare diminishing bubbly off-white head. Aroma of chocolate and, as it sits for a bit, some subtle tobacco comes through. Apparently some of the tobacco has diminished over the last 2 days and now it’s pretty much all chocolate, it smells similar to a Youngs Double Chocolate which is never a bad thing in my opinion. Flavour’s a bit roasty and also quite chocolaty but has more tobacco then the aroma suggests -- well done. Average bodied. Really good stuff, I quite liked it.

jercraigs (8825) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 25, 2008
2008-10-20. Black headless body (3+). Vanilla is prominent in the aroma., light tobacco touches? Mil dark malt. Flavour is much more nuanced than expected. Lots of vanilla, light leafy tobacco, sweet base, light bitterness in the finish. (7+) Smooth average plus palate is lightly carbonated (3+). Solid. Cask at Volo Cask Days Extended

Cask at Volo cask days 2008. Nose was very nice as it warmed a bit i got more tobacco, definate sweetness and some leather as Matt said. Dark brown little to no head flavor was of sweet chewing tobacco. a little too sweet for me but very interesting.

Sammy (9836) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 23, 2008
In a word, tobacco. Cask Ale Fest, Bar Volo 2008. Amazing aromas of tobacco and aroma, smoke. But the taste is one dimensional tobacco juice. Brown smokey colour. Medium mouthfeel. Smooth, but you need be a smoker. Smoke in the secondary.

on cask at volo cask days 2008. black with no head but some tan bubbles. aromas of chocolate and leather, earth, and i got a touch of smoke. the best aroma of any cask offering of the day. the flavour consists of chocolate with vanilla, over roasted malt bitterness. this was nice stuff but the aroma stole the show over the rest of the brew.
