Best overall stout on the common market. Sure a few small brewers come up with one better here and there, but this is the Old Faithful of beers. You always know you’re getting quality.

Bottle 330ml. Best stout beer ever. Period. Seriously, I can’t overstate this.

bsp77 (724) - Minnesota, USA - SEP 6, 2011
Serving glass: Poured from bottle into tall glass that seems halfway between a Pint glass and a Pilsner. Appearance: Ruby black with creamy tan head that coats the glass all the way down. Aroma: Roasted barley, sweet chocolate and coffee. Nice but subdued. Taste: Light roast character with cream, chocolate, bitter coffee and some sour notes. Palate: Nitro feel, quite smooth but too thin. Overall: Very easy to drink but too light. Not really a Stout.

matthasson (254) - Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 5, 2011
Deep brown/black color with a big creamy tan head. The head is like shaving cream and a classic example. The nose is full of roasted barley witha slight rasberry touch. Moderate roasted malt in the flavor with some chocolate and coffee notes. It is bittersweet with slight astingency and grainy sharpness. Body is very creamy and smooth yet feels a bit watery at the same time. I love Guinness for the purpose of car bombs, however, it is not an overly spectacular beer, but a classic example of a dry stout.

ration (335) - Tampere, FINLAND - SEP 3, 2011
Can. Pours with the unique Guinness way with a beautiful thick head. A slight burnt malty taste. Always an enjoyment to have.
