Can. Pours a clear dark brown body with a lasting, pillowy, not much lace, beige head. Smells of roasted malts. Flavor is roasted malts and some acidic sourness creating a coffee note.

black with a tan head, smells like brown bread. bitter, bready, malty. very smooth mouthfeel thanks to the ridiculous widget device. i just dont like guinness’ though, what the hell is 4.2%? distinctively lacking balls even compared to guinness extra

It’s black, creamy and over-rated. If you want to p*** off the barman, ask for a Guinness shandy - half Guinness and half fizzy lemonade (actually, it makes for a refreshing shandy) but there’s an art to pouring it!

What can I say about the beer that piqued my interest in something other then BMC. It looks fantastic in a glass. The head is enormous and the color is dark brown almost bordering on black. The smell is faint caramel with hints of malt. The flavor is similar to ice coffee. Hardly any trace of alcohol. It’s as smooth as water going down. Which is why I like to start my evening with one or three of these. I enjoy this beer even if it’s not real sophisticated.

Pours brownish black with thick, creamy head. Great lacing. Looks great in the glass then the first taste. Alot thinner mouthfeel than expected. Roasted malt flavor dominates. Pretty boring.

0.44L can. Pours a pitch black with a medium sized, mostly lasting head with very good lacing. The flavor has a good bitterness to it and ends a bit dry. Aromaes of coffee and roasted nuts, notes of earthy yeast. A medium body, thin texture and an short bitter finish.
