On cask at Wrecking Bar. Pours a hazy, ruddy orange-brown. Smells of vanilla bean, pretty nice. Nice soft mouthfeel, but under-carbonated, even for a cask. Also seems to be slightly warm. Despite this, the beer is an overall pleasant experience, with vanilla flavor integrating nicely with the pilsner malt. Apart from the two flaws in delivery, a good effort from a local establishment.
