February 1, 2014

32/1013) Caffe Volo:  Muskoka Detour by Muskoka Cottage Brewery of Ontario:  **1/2;  a 5.3% American pale ale;  floral nose with hints of pine and grapefruit;  delightful hop forward flavours;  very floral;  

33/1014) Caffe Volo:  Mortalité by Dieu du Ciel! of Quebec:  **1/2;  a 7% American IPA;  cut from much the same cloth as Muskoka Detour above with a very floral nose and bright floral flavours;

34/1015) Caffe Volo:  Grande Noirceur by Dieu du Ciel! of Quebec:  **1/2;  a 9% Imperial Stout; the nose is notes of dark, bitter coffee;  flavours of dark coffee, alcohol and astringent espresso;

My notes read " Wow. What a night" and what a night it was with three great new beers.  As is regularly the case the music at the Volo seems to fit the vibe.  My notes also comment on how dark it is inside the Volo.  It is not very well lit and I am not convinced that they have/use air conditioning in the summer which is why I am a bit scarce during certain months.

Oh, and I repaid the Volo for all the fun evenings by undoing some yo-yo's juvenile prank of stuffing the drain and turning on the hot water in the loo, singeing my hand in the process.  You'e welcome.
