Cask at the Nags Head, Reading. Sooty black with a loose tan head; aroma of vanilla and chocolate malts; thin and milky consistency, sweet, with a natural vanilla flavour and some chocolate malts; then a dry, roasted malt finish. Even as I write this, some three hours after drinking it, I can still taste the vanilla!
