I had a taste of the Elevation 66 Esther's Vanilla Stout (while at Elevation 66). It has a nice coffee smell and an initially bitter taste, but a nice end. 10:23PM PT Since the tester was not enough to convince me to get a full pint of the beer, I decided to "try" the HenHouse Biere de Garde.

Today I got the Fieldwork Hanging Valley, but Celia got the Esther's Vanilla Stout and I had a sip. It definitely tasted like a stout (the typical coffee and chocolate taste). Our friend Jack also noted the chocolate taste.

On an unrelated note, I found it interesting how Celia's shirt color (purple) shows up in the photo along the upper left of the glass and a bit along the bottom of the glass to the right.
