Really loved all the variants, tho i didn't try the dry one. Not a big dry stout fan.
I also thought the event was well run, especially considering the space constraints that volo has. The above seasonal temperature yesterday was HUGE, as it allowed the patio to be fully functional without people freezing their asses off.
Yeah, no kidding.

Couldn't make it on Saturday, but popped into Volo yesterday afternoon. The peach Peche and 2016 special edition were tapped out but I enjoyed the Veniel, classic Mortel, dry and bourbon barrel aged variations as well as some of other stout offerings. Afternoon drinking can be glorious.

I'm really hoping that Argon and other varietal inert gases are making their way into brewing! 8)

Sorry I missed this event, Péché is amazing bottle-conditioned of course but the Peach one sounds both hilarious in name and worth a try.

It's funny how different palates can be. It was easily my least favourite of the bunch.
