Cask at Reading Beer Festival. Dark amber with a thin beige head. Gorgeous smooth vanilla flavour with a red wine boozy hit behind. A little toffee and chocolate too. Left a lasting vanilla aftertaste. Very heady stuff, better than I anticipated - feel privileged to have tried this one. However, might have been a bit strong for this early on in the fest.
