Guinness Draught

Brewed by St. James’s Gate (Diageo)
Style: Dry Stout
Dublin, Ireland

Its Guinness, that should be enough. Great out of the bottle but even better on tap. Nice and flavorful, burnt malts that are similar to coffee. Pours a dark brown with a nice thick head. Tasty!

One of my favorites. Aroma is malty and grainy. The taste is sweet at first and bitter as it goes down. No carbonation, just as I like it. Palate is pleasing and light. Excellent beer to chug, a pitcher is an easy task to down. Aftertaste is alright, leaves me wanting chips and salsa for some reason.

Poured from 12 oz bottle into a tulip pint at Applebee’s. Technically, the lable says you are supposed to drink this from the bottle. Appearance: Black coffee liquid that had lighter brown around the edges. Nice, creamy head that stuck to the glass and stayed for the duration. Smell: Roasted malts and old coffee. Taste: Right up front there was a burnt malt taste. In the middle, dark roasted, bitter, old coffee totally won out. At the end, there was a hint of sweetness, then 3-day-old, coffee aftertaste lingered. Nasty! Mouthfeel: Extremely creamy, almost milkshake feel. Smooth as silk. This was the strongpoint of the beverage. Drinkability: I couldn’t even finish one of these. If this is the essence of what a stout is, then I’m not a fan. If all you’ve got is this, then get me a glass of water. Serving type: nitro-bottle

A black pour with a thick, creamy head. The aroma reminds me of cardboard. The taste is lightly sweet initially, but it finishes somewhat bitter. It has a full body, slick texture, flat carbonation, and a dry finish.

On tap. Pours a very dark brown, and with very foamy head. Very smooth stout that has good flavor, one of my favorites.

16oz can. Very dark, almost black with whip cream head.Very alive pour, as expected. Aroma of cereal, light coffee and toasted grains. Taste is smooth and very lightly bitter.

Guinness... whether you love it or hate it, its been around for 250 years now... I guess you’ll just have to accept it. :-)

Pours a dark brown, almost black, with a tight tan head that leaves a wonderful lacing. Not much in the aroma department; some roasted malt, cocoa and a hint of coffee. The flavor is the same, some roasted malt, cocoa and coffee with a slightly bitter finish. Very creamy mouthfeel. A very good beer that I just get a craving for every now and then.
