Theakston's Vanilla Stout at Stanley's Cask, New Brighton

Our next pub was a short bus ride into the next town, and not being locals we made a palaver of all climbing on for a day out on the beer; much to the amusement of the locals. The beer here was in excellent condition and the stout was just full of flavour without being overbearingly sweet. It’s an open-plan pub but it is split into sections for those who like to hide away from the rest of the world. The bar had a very ornate antique feel and at the back was a dartboard; of which one member of our party was keen on striking up a game. However, one of his patrons reminded him just how bad it was and it might be a wise idea to give the game a miss. There’s a pub with a similar name in nearby Wallasey which is sports-bar themed; I wonder if the two are linked and that Stanley may perhaps be a very wealthy man.
