budallpro (18), , Missouri, USA Feb 28, 2009 Draught and bottle. Always love watching it poured on draft. Creamy black. Big, thick tan head, beautiful beer. Smells lof roasted malt, coffee. I just don’t like the taste dwaggs2 (531), Lee’s Summit, Missouri, USA Feb 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours a black color with a two finger head. Does leave some lacing on the side of the glass. We all know what Guinness is and taste likes. I don’t need to get into all of that. I just wasn’t a huge fan of this beer. Strangebrewer (208), Chatham, Ontario, Canada Feb 27, 2009 440ml can 4.2%. Pours opaque, near black with amazing cascade effect that turns into a dense tan lasting head. Toasted, cocoa-coffee aroma. Flavour same as the aroma with a hint of alcohol at the end. Light mouthfeel, almost flat, which makes it possible to drink more without feeling bloated. This is what I compare all other stouts to, but that’s my personal taste. TerenceHua (87), , Singapore Feb 26, 2009 Updated: Mar 27, 2009Black beauty with a creamy head. Solid roast, malt, nut and coco/coffee aromas. Very slight hint of wood too. Smoothness at its best with an incomparable creamy taste. Unlike a usual stout, this brew does not take a toll on your palate. The bitterness has been tinkered to the optimum level. Nicely hopped too. Still possess a strong body despite its apparent easy slide down your throat. Brilliant character. Subtlly complex but not schizophrenic. A wonderful consumption experience. The carbonation is great. Try it with a sccop of vanilla ice-cream! jamvin23 (162), chicago, Illinois, USA Feb 25, 2009 Pours black with a thick creamy chocolate brown head. Aromas: cocoa, coffee and lots of roasted malt. Flavors of more coffee and dark roasted malt BigBeerHead (42), Reading, Bedfordshire, England Feb 25, 2009 I don’t really care what anyone else says. Guinness draught is a delight and I love the creamy head, the texture is a joy and the overcall bitter yet tasty flavour on the palate makes this a really good stout and its also available almost everywhere. Ok it can be annoying waiting for it to settle and it has the slight drawback of being a little more dehydrating than other beer. fidelis83 (707), Clinton, Iowa, USA Feb 24, 2009 Updated: Mar 28, 200916oz bottle. Pours black as night with a 2-3 finger creamy medium beige head that has excellent retention and leaves the best lacing I know of. Aroma is pretty weak, roast, ash, some cocoa, some stale coffee. Flavor is basically the same a little mare ash/char to the finish along with a slight bitterness. Palate is super milky smooth and creamy. Super fine carbonation bubbles seem to hold alot of the real beer back. A decent introduction to the style but certainly no figurehead stout.
