does not count  Apr 30, 2009 Nothing like being served a fresh, cold draft of Guinness. Aroma is on the coffee side. The color is jet black with cascading bubbles that form a thick, creamy head. Goes down smooth, but almost has a flat tast to it due to the non- carbination.

Apr 26, 2009 Looks like most raters of this beer need to get out more Appearance is nice, but this stuff goes down faster than water. Flavor is as complex as Velcro shoes. About the only "stout" you can get in a neighborhood bar, but falls in the same category as the rest of their beers...overpriced macro-swill. I will say it does beat a pale lager.

Apr 20, 2009 Draft (the only way to drink it) at a pub in Boston. The appearance of ultra fine bubbles swirling into a thick rick head over a deep black Guinness is phenomenal. Great smooth milky body with cocoa and coffee flavors. Certainly the draft can and bottle versions come nowhere close to a properly poured Guinness.

Apr 19, 2009 Updated: May 9, 2009The appearance of a Guinness is just awesome. It looks so delicious with the almost black colour and the creamy head. The aroma smells of coffee malt. Palate is creamy and just lovely. Flavor of coffee and a hint of dark chocolate.

Apr 17, 2009 Poured into glass from the can.
The color is an almost opaque black, with almost a red overtone. Has about an inch of foamy off white head which is quite thick.
The smell is of a very light coffee smell, a very slight chocolate flavor and a slight hope flavor as well.
The taste is chocolate slightly but taste is a little off and it better on tap.
This was my first stout and I still love to have a few every once in a while. I have moved on to other stouts and I hope to have one in Ireland but this is the one I always base my comparison on.
Serving type: nitro-can

Apr 16, 2009 Pours black with a big tan head, leaves tons of creamy lacing. Looks far better than it tastes. Aroma is faint, some roasted coffee malts, a bit of hops. Flavour is dominated by roasted malts, some coffee, some faint chocolate. Doesn’t really taste much at all though. Very smooth, but quite thin.
