Can’t believe I hadn’t rated this yet. Pours pitch black with a thick, creamy tan head. Aroma is creamy roasted malts. Flavor is dry roasted malts with some coffee and some hops. Good stuff.

Always a smooth and creamy experience. Great mouth feel, not much an after taste. Super dark with a beautifully white head.

TAP. Appearance is a 4 becuase of the nitro off-white head and the dark body. I love watching the head rise to the top and form. Nice lacing too. Palate is smooth. Decent beer. But I like my dark beers to be thick and full of flavor. This tastes like a good beer that was watered down. A disappointment in that it doesn’t reach its full potential.

Enjoyed on tap at the Globe Pub in Chicago, IL while at a birthday party for a friend. I’ve had this countless times before, the first noticeable stout I’ve ever had. Appearance is pitch black with very frothy, rich white head that laces to the glass. Aroma of chocolate malt, nitrogen. Taste also of chocolate malt, has a distinct taste that just tastes like guinness. Good time and time again.

A cerveja Stout mais famosa existente marca presença e respeito no mundo cervejeiro. Espetacular ver como a Guinness vai se transformando em espuma num processo lento e constante, mantendo o creme consistente. Um sabor razoavelmente amrgo e cafeinado, bem típico das Stouts, A Guinness demonstra sua respeitável drinkability. Um "must" para todo cervejeiro.

500ml can pours almost black in color with a huge light beige head that retains well and leaves some really nice lacing. Aroma is roasted malts and coffee. Taste is roasted malty bitterness with some coffee and hints of malt sweetness. Probably one of the best macro brews out there, quite enjoyable.

Pailhead (3326) - Plymouth, Michigan, USA - FEB 2, 2012
Bottle: The aroma consists of chocolate, light cream, light roasted coffee, and a touch of nuts. It pours a dark brown, but when held to the light there is some orange tinted transparency. it has a two finger tan head with great retention that leaves some nice webbing on the sides of the glass. The flavor starts with light chocolate and a touch of cream. The finish has some watered down roasted coffee and a hint of nuts. It’s medium bodied with soft carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. Overall, it smell pretty good the the flavor feels watered down. It is what it is, a decent gateway Stout.

edpeg (222) - Berlin, GERMANY - FEB 1, 2012
Can 0,44l with cartridge,. Pours pitch black, with foamy creamy off-white head. Aromas sweet malts, roasted malts, leather, nuts. Palate smooth thick flat, carbonation medium weak but full-bodied. After taste dry watery, cardboard flavours. Finish is short and dry. Pretty ok one, specially the draught appeal.
