Cask at the Gunmakers. Malty sweet, chocolate, cappuchino. The usual Caledonian diacetyl butter feeling. Sweet finish, too, the claimed balance is not there.

Handpulled cask at JDW Hatch End. Dense brown with a loose bubbly beige head. If I’d tried this in a blind tasting I’d have identified it as a mild! Sweet and buttery, so obviously from the Caley stable.

On draught at JDW The Prince of Wales, Cardiff. Dark brown with a creamy tan head. Fruity, hints of chocolate and apples, faily bitter. Surprisingly little oatmeal stout character, except for the colour.
