Stout Smack Down

Here I am again comparing bottled Guinness with a stout (vanilla) from Saranac.
Guinness Draught: Color-Dark brown; red tint Nose-Mocha like First taste-Smooth; on palate Observations-Initial taste fades Fizziness-Creamy; frothy; heavily carbonated Where Brewed? Dublin, Ireland Cost-$1.17 Aftertaste-Some Rating-7.25
Saranac Vanilla: Color-Black Nose-Of vanilla First taste-Strong; full mouth Observations-Nice lasting taste Fizziness-Frothy; can't see bubbles Where Brewed? Utica, NY Cost-$1.16 Aftertaste-Lingering sweetness Rating-7.75
Final thought-Guinness on tap much better than any example in a bottle.
