259/907) Caffe Volo: Snap, Crackle and Hop by Parallel 49 Brewing Company of British Columbia: **1/2; 9.3%; an Imperial Rice IPA; sweet, citrusy nose; touch sweetness with a bitter hop bite at finish and in the after taste;
260/908) Caffe Volo: Lord of the Hops IPA by Parallel 49 Brewing Company of British Columbia: **; 7.2%; citrusy nose, though less so than the above; mild citrusy hoppiness; less dynamic than the Rice IPA;
261/909) Caffe Volo: Schadenfreude Pumpkin Oktoberfest by Parallel 49 Brewing Company of British Columbia: **; 5%; the nose is like pumpkin pie filling; starts out with pumpkin flavours; the finish and after taste lean toward the spices;
262/910) Caffe Volo: Lost Souls Chocolate Pumpkin Porter by Parallel 49 Brewing Company of British Columbia: **1/2; 6.5%; nose is a blend of chocolate, pumpkin and espresso; mild, astringent spices; I am at risk of losing count of the pumpkin ales I have enjoyed this season;
263/911) Caffe Volo: Robust Porter by House Ales of Ontario: **; dark coffee nose with a touch of mocha; forward mocha flavours; a solid porter;
Not only was tonight the evening before Cask Days but the Volo was also holding a Parallel 49 event (they of the un-Paralleled six-pack experienced earlier) with the owners and brewers present and, yes, as per usual there were half pints tonight.
