2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Amber coloured, creamy appearance. Sweet and mellow, but also Boddington-style flavourless and one-dimensional.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Widget Can
Beautiful dark amber color; yoghurt-like head. Nice aroma, malty and a bit fruity. Smooth, a bit malty, caramel, correct bitterness. Easy to drink, quite simple.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dark golden with a nice, creamy head. The aroma is a bit neutral but has notes of caramel and hops. The flavour is smooth and mild with light notes of roasted malt, licorice and a nice bitterness, that isn’t overwhelmingly strong. A nice bitter found in Scotland 2004.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Can. Creamy good fully lasting head. Microsize bobbles. OK aroma, and powerfull bitter flavor. Average finish. Very oily palate. Nice bitter.

Tinned, widget thingy, pasteurised. Brown beer with nitrogen flush through, cream false head. Watery thin tasteless beer except for a sharp tinnt background. Pitiful.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: FEB 21, 2004 clear red-amber colour with the legendary Guinness foam, fantastic lacing, flowery and toffey nose, very smooth, thin-bodied, low carbonation, sweet with a touch of finishing bitterness, slightly dry caramelish aftertaste - correct but inoffensive
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
In the tin. Golden with a dense foam taht never disappears. Aroma is creamy and slightly metallic. Flavours are watery, smooth with some metallic hops. Because of the smoothness it is possible to drink a can in one go.
2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Well, it was better than i though it would be, but worse than i can put up with. Zero aroma, and i literally mean zero, i gave the aroma score an extra mark, because it wasn’t offensive. Classic creamy ’Guinness-style’ creamy head. Sweet and creamy, very short on the palate, quite thin, with some bittering hops, i reckon it would be OK, if they didn’t use the nitro-widget thingy, tasted very Guinnessy.
