16 oz. draught can. This may be the most beautiful pour in the world. Dark brown/black with hints of ruby red where the light hits the bottom of the glass. Solid, creamy white head unlike any other beer variety. Very unique aroma of roasted malt blanced with sweetness and light hops. Taste of chocolate and caramel malt, texture of iron in the finish which is also dry. This is a unique and world class beer - one of the absolute best. The final reason I rated this a 4.6 (19 overall) is that the alcohol content is so much lower.

I love this beer. Its one of those that my enjoyment t is much higher than my rating. Dark brown with plenty of off-white head. Taste of toasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. Very creamy feel to the mouth. Good roasted aftertaste. Not nearly as thick as the higher rated imperial stouts, but is more drinkable if you want two or three.

A bit lie eatting junk food. Guinness draught is hollow ,but with nice generic flavours and cool markting ploys. Roasted malts .Huge creamy palate from the nitrogeon ’beer’ head. There are way cooler stouts.Like Murphys for a similar example or Guinness Foregin Export.

Draught at Sydney’s A fantastically crafted beer. Pours a Dark dark brown/black color, with a Lasting off-white head. Its got a heavy dark/roasted flavor with a lot of walnut in it. A very VERY strong roasty flavor on the palate, with an unforgiving dry finish (in a good way though :D). I absolutely LOVE this beer, its drinkable with pretty much ANY food. Take the time to really savor it!

I am almost sure every people that are members of this website have tried Guinness at some point I their life. So I will keep this short. Its great tasting, heavy as hell, and makes a perfect beer for doing car bombs or black and tans. Is one of my favorite beers !!!

Draft: Pour is dark black color with a frothy tan head. The aroma was roasted malts, old coffee, and chocolate. The flavor was smooth, malts, roasted coffee, and acid. Overall, not the best, but the one that paved the way for the best.
