Saranac Vanilla Stout

Saw this one and had to try it seeing as how I like vanilla and chocolate mixtures. This stout was interesting, nice black color with a ruby undertone. Head was firm and a nice tan color. Flavor was malty to start, very slight hint of vanilla, finish was a bit on the bitter side, not sure if it was the roasted malts, hops or both. For some reason it reminded me a bit of Guiness with out the trademark sour finish. This one is OK or more should I say a bit above average. You won't be disappointed, but you won't be knocked over either.
