Bar Volo (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – 587 Yonge Street)
750ml bottle
10.5% ABV
I shared a bottle of this with fellow BeerPal Sassy. The beer poured a coca-cola brown colour with a thin tan creamy head into the Unibroue tulip. The aroma was dark fruit, molasses, roasted malt, and sugar. The mouthfeel was full bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was blackberries, molasses, some applish and anise notes. Alcohol was completely hidden. A great beer. -

500ml
$2.25
The beer poured a translucent gold colour with a generous white fluffy head, and excessive effervescence. The aroma was a pungent mix of grainy malt, hops, and skunk. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, and highly carbonated. The flavour is a nice balance between the hops and the malt, not as grainy as other European pilseners! -
