milewide (609), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Oct 18, 2009 Beautiful creamy head, but weak aroma and taste. The stout for "wimps"! No hops and thin body. wlminter (10), Virginia, USA Oct 17, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours, well, pours like Guinness. Mouth-feel was pretty thin for a stout. The taste was watery, with only a slight bitterness at the end. Tasted like a watered-down Sierra Nevada Stout. I think this might be due to the nitrogen capsule in the bottle, because on tap this is delicious. Or maybe, I just got a bad batch. So given the choice, avoid the bottle, go for the tap. JanVittrup (138), København V, Denmark Oct 17, 2009 Nothing looks like a Guinness. In its own class. Dark. Foam. ’nuff said.
Little to no aroma. Atleast when I’m out on the town.
Flavor: Perfect balance - but no real characteristic. A little hop, not much.
Palate: Here is where it really shines. Thick. Velvet.
A great beer with little taste(!)
Purchased at some bar in Vesterbro. mallons72 (18), livonia, Michigan, USA Oct 17, 2009 I dont’ know why, but I like the can much better than the bottle. Widget seems to work better in the can. KyotoLefty (1371), Kyoto, Japan Oct 14, 2009 Finally got around to rating it. Malty aroma with chocolate and coffee and a touch of sour. Flavor of chocolate, roasted malt, some hops, a bit of coffee, some cereals, a touch of fruit, and a bit bitter roasted finish. Dry and silky smooth. Not a whole lot of flavor, really, but subtle and very drinkable. Served usually far too cold to get a good nose. mcberko (125), British Columbia, Canada Oct 14, 2009 On tap, the only proper way to drink Guinness. A thick, pleasantly bitter, and heavy dry stout. One of my safe go-to beers. Fevernova (33), Ohio, USA Oct 12, 2009 Tap -- What else can I say that hasn’t already been said. A Classic. jackfrost9p (11), Illinois, USA Oct 12, 2009 Wonderful beer. Love the falling foam, probably the best appearance I have seen.
