440ml can, as pictured. Widget-"driven" can pours a huge, monstrously creamy off-white head with good retention. Clear, nutty brown colour. Rather fain aroma of malt and caramel. No carbonation (left), very smooth, but essentially thin, mouth feel. Taste is very similar to Boddington’s and John Smith Extra Smooth, but a bit more characterfully maltish, with some caramel here, too. Mildly bitter finish and faint, but lingering malty after taste. Not bad at all. Sessionable, straightforward - just don’t expect much complexity here. Should not be drunk at too low a temperature.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Malty aroma. Mahogany, large off-white head. Flavour is malty with caramel. Very watery. Finishes bitter with slight sweetish note. Would decidedly be better if it had more body to it.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Can at home. Reddish colour. Carbonated with fast-receding head. Bitter, definitely; with distinctive Guinness flavour. Nutty flavour. Quite smooth and surprisingly good for a canned beer.

Rubbish, a terrible idea. Guinness is overrated anyway, but pleasant enough. This is just a Boddies, John Smiths style bland tasteless dishwater in a can. Id suggests that the Americans on here who like this try a real ale from Britain rather than this filth

I used to love drinking this in England. Very creamy brew, reddish in color and pours nice. Alas, I haven’t had this since coming to the States. To enhance the flavor, drink while eating chocolate (Cadburys recommended, Hersheys would kill it), I find the two compliment each other.

There is nothing like a good bitter... and in my opinion this is the epitome of bitter. the slight caramel is a nice top to both the aroma and the taste. This bitter is second only to the stout.
