The best stout in the world - try it in a good pub, one which keeps the beer lines clean and has a good guinness drinking crowd. A dodgy pint of Guinness can have you on the throne for days, but a good one will make you feel like a king

UPDATED: APR 13, 2011 Simply one of the greatest beers in the world. Guinness is so unique in its flavor and presentation that it stands on its own apart from all other styles and producers. Although there are other producers of Irish dry stout... none, NONE will compare. It is in a class by itself and ranks as my number one, all time favorite brew. I could wax poetic about the taste characteristics of this sublime beverage but i find it as difficult as trying to interpret the artistic intentions of a great painter. The only downside of being a Guinness lover is struggling thru improperly poured pints.

CAnnette 500 mL - N’est pas d’un noir opaque mais une très belle mousse la couvre. Arôme léger de café chocolaté. Bière douce au goût pas trop prononcée sur l’amertume mais ça goûte l’eau! J’en avais de meilleur souvenir.

The first beer I ever had, and still my favorite and my go to beer on any occasion. A good Imperial of Guinness is like coming home on a winter night to a good book, a roaring fire and a warm blanket. There’s something absolutely comforting about this beer.

(on draft at the Dublin Pub, Morristown) A long-time favorite pick at an Irish bar, but not rated until today. Mild and easy to session. Always best when served fresh from a pub that knows how to handle.

Possibly one of the best beers ever made. It is easy to drink and leaves no unpleasent after taste. This does not apply to Guinness in bottles.

I have had this beer at the James Gate Brewery, as well as all over America. They do a great job of making sure this beer tastes pretty much the same everywhere. Liquid Goodness! Rich, smooth, delicate and bold at the same time. Nice toasty, roastiness and just the right amount of bitterness at the end. I can drink this pint after pint. Love it!
