Pale brown, but waaaaaayyy too pale for a stout. Vanilla, well, that's abundant both in the nose and palate. Some harsh whiskey as well. But yeasty, clunky, the base beer is all wrong and really, when you look at your stout and it's pale brown, you know it's gone wrong. Trying to barrel your way out of a bad brew is just cynical and reflects poorly on the enterprise, as it indicates a real lack of respect for the customer. Just dump it already.
