3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cannette 473 ml. En fût. Bouteille 330 ml. 4.2%. Couleur noire, mousse crémeuse beige. Arôme de café, un peu de chocolat. En bouche, mince et peu gouteuse. Elle se boit par contre très bien. Notes de café, houblon et finale un peu amère. Ne m’a jamais impressionné et je suis fatigué des maudits buveurs de Guinness qui n’ont jamais bu autre chose ! ;-)))))
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: APR 6, 2011 It’s black, with giant pillowy cream colored head that lasts forever. Weak aroma of roasted malt and some chocolate/coffee notes. Taste is lightly roasted malt and not a whole lot else. Body is creamy and smooth, but light. Very light for a stout, yet it doesn’t feel watered down. In general, it’s better than most beers at the average bar, and it was a huge part of my liberation from the nasty pale lager epidemic, but it just doesn’t measure up very well in the craft beer world.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Relatively watery palate and the malts are weak coffee-style in flavor. Although not bad, the Extra Stout is much better.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pint Can. Pours a fantastic brackish brown and black with trademark cascading head which lasted throughout the sampling. Aroma is slight toffee and caramel, a hint of citrus maybe. Very smooth drinker with a watery feel. Overall a nice beer, actually a good one to get some macor drinkers started on.
2.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap @ Streets of London for St. Patricks Day. Since most know what it looks like, I’ll skip to the part about it not having any aroma whatsoever. Then move to the palate being smooth and silky, but light bodied. Flavour is very mild for a "stout", with a mostly malt flavour, but some roasty flavours coming through. Overall its a tad better than most beers, but to light for a stout. I think these facts have lent it to have such success as Coors Light, but there are much better beers available at the pub.
2.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at Streets of London West Sacramento. Aroma is pretty much non-existent. Color is dark brown with a thick tan head. Weak roasted and coffee flavors. Palate is medium body and creamy. Overall I’m not a huge Guinness fan. The texture is good but if you’re looking or flavor there are plenty of better stouts.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Well, I guess it was time to finally catch up with the joneses and rate the most rated beer on this website. This was the first beer I ever liked, it’s got a special place in my heart no doubt & I honestly enjoy it each time I have it. Pours the darkest brown with ruby hints when held up to the light. The head is big and white and thick.... we all know what a pint of Guinness looks like, in case you forgot there is a picture right over there. Although I dispute the coloration on that photo as the beer in my hand is not nearly as dark as that one. The aroma is really very faint and clean with mild hints of yeasty fruitiness, nuttiness, & a tad bit of roastiness. The flavor is roasty and nicely bitter with fruity undertones. This is a terribly clean tasting beer and it’s a bit watery, but thats sort of the point isn’t it? Not a bad beer, but I’m glad I eventually moved on.
