Nov 4, 2009
Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol 3/11/09. Near black with hints of red and a tan head. A very sweet stout with plenty of milk chocolate and prunes, followed by a touch of roastiness and a sweet finish. A 1/3 pint taster was fine but, as harrisoni states, a pint would be a challenge. Ok.

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

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.
