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 (254) - 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.

kerenmk (139) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - JAN 31, 2012
Draught, at the Dublin Pub in Herzliya. Pours black with a steady, smooth head. Delicate roast and some coffee aroma, burnt bitterness, some roastiness and some sour in the mouth. Creamy, balanced, smooth and full body. Not the best tap around.

Can w/ widget. Aroma: Malty, caramel, roasty and sweet. Appearance: Dark brown, almost black, with light tan, creamy head. Taste: Not overly complex, but roasty and malty, with slightly bitter finish. Palate: Full body, slick texture (not nearly as thick as in the UK), flat carbonation, minimal finish. The old adage about Guinness being different around the world is certainly true, because this beer hardly resembles the Guinness I tasted in London. Much thinner, less flavor, but still a decent beer with an absolutely beautiful pour.
