Do you think they've changed the Baron blend? I definitely don't remember it being quite so Italian..
Re: the winter - I've only had it once before and that was the first week they had it in. I was really into the autumn espresso and found the winter a bit bland by comparison.
I can remember preferring The Baron in the past. I do have it with milk, and it's just a bit meh for me just now.
I have some Maresca beans from Sicily just now also, and they are dark, but not bitter like the Baron is. They pour like treacle, and taste a bit like salted caramel.
I was pouring the Winter Blend as 18g and just a typical 30g odd brew for 25-30s odd. I drank it usually as a flat white.
