2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Pours dark ruby black with beige head. The aroma is caramel with some hints of ash, cherry, and raisin. The flavor is quite tinny with some hints of ash, caramel, and dark chocolate. There’s a strange hay-like thing in there, too. Finish is kind of hollow with a hint of raisin. Meh.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Dark mahogony-black beer with a tan head. Light roast and light grain aroma. Malt and light toffee flavor with light roast and light mineral. Medium bodied. Malt and light toffee lingers with light roast.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Similar colour to the Guinness Stout although the head has notably less head with larger bubbles. Virtually no aroma. Taste is very lagery, some bitterness. Okay.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
355ml bottle. Thick oily black looking with a great big light brown head I’d deep foam. Aromas of roasted malt with some bitterness on the palate and a dry roasty flavour. A bit thin in the mouth but overall okay.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle... Poured (not "straight from the bottle") a near black with hints of brown and red with a thick forming, bubbly, khaki head. WOW! Cold brewed for maximum enjoyment. Sort of underwhelming but not offensive. Clean, with barley grains, roast, nutty, cocoa powder, some malt sweetness. A little bit of fruitiness but low esters and yeast presence. Would rather have a Session Black.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A bit disappointed with Guinness as there is nothing that really stands out. It is a middle road though for Lager fans wanting to try something darker.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Medium brown with thin light tan head. Kind of tastes like a watered down spritzier uinness without all the chalkiness of guinness. The aromas and flavors are weak as expected but it drinks suprisingly well. Maybe I just like it for its unique qualities among the beers I’ve been ticking. Tock.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
This poured a reddish color with a beige head. Aroma was of light roast, metla and not much else. Taste was very metllic and bitter, but not from hops, in an astringent way, and lioght roast. Bleh.
