Deep amber brown, long lasting tan head, good lacing.
Aroma is quite malty, some chocolate, coffee beans, roasty.
Flavour is quite robust, caramel malt sweetness, some chocolate, moderate bitterness.
Sweet mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation.
Finished medium length, chocolate and caramel continue.
Bigger than expected, good balance. Enjoyable.
Growler from the brewpub.
Opened on January 9, 2009.
Very fresh sample.

Nov 17, 2009 Cask. At Volo Cask Days 2009. Cloudy deep red with an average lasting frothy off-white head. Grassy and lightly roasty aroma, with crush appleseed bitterness - same in the flavour, only grainier ... average body, slightly bitter finish - pretty non-memorable.

Nov 1, 2009 Volo cask days 2009. This brewer has competent material. Here os a lower IBU ale that is a very drinkable cask. Medium brown colour, a bold taste with a bit of citrus and a little acidic in the finish. This would go well with food.

Jun 1, 2009 Tap @ Volo
Appearance: amber looking brew , light fine haze , light , bright top noted as well.
Nose: earthy base with malty top. Hint of aromatic hop. Good aroma per se but I failed to note Irish character.
Flavor/Palate : Medium bodied with mild centre. Slightly thinner on sides. Some raw bitterness , leafy and citric. In character more to pale ale than malty caramel Irish one. Bah! 12-/20

May 19, 2009 Candied malt aroma, hint of chocolate, auburn, small tan head. Flavour has lots of malt, followed by a decent level of fruitiness, mild chocolate notes. Light bodied, yet very well balanced, quite a pleasant mouthfeel, nice bitterness. Great offering.

Apr 21, 2009 A dark brown color with a nice roasted hop aroma. In the mouth the taste was on the dryer side but wonderful tasteful and refreshing. An excellent growler and highly recommended for all those who can put their hands on it. Cheers.
