Kronebryg (613) - Sorgenfri, DENMARK - JAN 28, 2012
Fine head, lasting and creamy, Black - like coffee. Lightly sweet nose. Light body and medium length, very soft and low carb. Taste is lightly bitter with tones of bitter chockolate, ashes. Not my cup of thea.

BillHick420 (105) - North Dakota, USA - JAN 27, 2012
11.2 ounces bottle. Pours black with a tanned head. Slight aroma of roasted barley. Thin, instead of the thick that you usually find in stouts. Blend to be a dark beer, but easily drinkable.

Appreciator (15) - Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA - JAN 26, 2012
Typical black colour with a dull slightly hoppy smell. Low taste intensity, with low body for the thickness. short finish with a thin yet creamy texture. slight bitter flavour. Straightforward and rich quality. Was not enough flavour for the boldness of the beer. Mildly appreciated.

From the widget can with the nitrous injector. In this era of the super-stouts, it’s nice to know that Guinness is not about to change their time-tested formula of perfection. Still not as good as a real tapped pour, but the next best thing when drinking at home, especially if you want to have a few without feeling like you can’t get out of your seat afterwards. Properly belongs on everyone’s must try list.

Chudwick (360) - Taylor Mill (KY), FRANCE - JAN 22, 2012
can with widget - pours motor oil with creamy tan head and nice lacing. Nose is roasted malts. Thin Texture for such a thick body. Taste is a little bitter. I used to hate this beer so much, but now I’ve discovered so many other beers that I hate so much more, that in the end, Guinness is not that bad anymore to me. The style is growing on me.
