On tap. A nice creamy bitter dark stout. Very popular, obviously, and actually not a bad stout.

Back to basics here. Aggressive pour from a 16oz can yields the trademark reverse cascade with a lush 1 finger head, clear brown in the middle with reddish edges, and the best head retention I’ve seen on any beer ever. Aroma is sour-ish, chocolatey, caramelly, and earthy. Taste is bittersweet chocolate, milk, then a sour then dry, roasty finish. Perfectly balanced. Body is medium, super creamy, nitrogen presence smooths out any sign of sharp carbonation. Overall, I am a devout craft beer enthusiast, but I can drink this beer faster and with more enthusiasm than pretty much anything else. A true world classic and a reliable go-to beer than can be found pretty much anywhere.

Nitro Tap- Served a virtual black color with a thick creamy head and lots of lacing. Aroma is of roasted malt, coffee and a hint of bitterness. Taste of roasted malt, coffee, a bit of sweetness and a nice bitterness through to the finish which is quite dry. Fairly light bodied, creamy and smooth, well balanced. When Guinness is fresh on tap it is "spot-on" as they say. It is an original to which all others are compared to. Common in most pubs in England.

0,5l can with little ball inside. Pours out a black brew with a creamy, light tanned head. Aroma of coffee, licorice and roasted malts. Flavour returns the licorice and the bitter roastiness. Starts off watery, finishes bitter. Funny ball inside the can.. why?

44 cl can. Rated on 20.6.2011
Very thick head. Aroma has very roasted malt, hints of coffee and smoke. Flavour is rather dry, it has roasted malt and coffee. Very rich for a 4.1% stout, but still slightly watery.

Finally tried a cna of this. Compared to other Guiness products it is better. Maybe the hot day on the Starnberger See clouded my judgement.

Roasted malts and some taste of coffee. This very fine dark beer is an enormous pleaser and keeps you constantly interested. Dark and strong in taste but in it’s own satisfying way very pleasing.
