The Baron. Deep ruby with a thick off white collar lacing all the way. Cake, Battenberg and butter aroma. Slimy palate with butter, almond and watery Black Forest notes. Butter biscuit afters, trickle of plum. Thin flimsy roast on the end. I know its a house Cally thing, but the butter’s a bit much for me here and isn’t something I’m looking for in a beer (Oatmeal Stout??) labelled ’Double Dark’. Notes of a stronger beer without the body or substance to back it. Disappointing festival opener.

Nov 16, 2009 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.

Nov 13, 2009 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.

Nov 9, 2009 Cask in the Market Porter. Alround rating: Diactyl bomb, roasty fairly sweet, but buttery beyond hope. Very poor.

Nov 7, 2009 Cask pint at JDW Newcastle. Pours dark, slightly viscous, drinks with a honey like sweetness, some whisky and malt flavours, finishes quite bizaarly, I can’t quite put my finger on what it is but it’s odd. Ok stout with an unusual but not unpleasant level of sweetness.
