Seven Bridges Vanilla Stout

Pint at the Seven Bridges Brewpub in Jacksonville. Hand pulled from cask. Very dark almost black beer with a big tan head that lasted a while. Aroma of dark roasted malts. Flavor was excellent, a complex mix of sweet dark malts, roasty coffee and chocolate, subtle hints of vanilla, a good hop presence, and nicely bitter finish. Tasty and easy drinking. Similar to their Iron Horse Stout but a slight malt sweetness replaces the faint saltiness. I really enjoyed this.
