Guinness Draught

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.

Draft..Pour is a dark thick with a wonderful cream colored head...dark chocolate/java bean notes...the Standard bar none... enjoy

poured from a bottle into a pint glass. looks really good but doesn’t have much of an aroma. when i first started drinking more sophisticated beers i thought this one was great but now i think its light as far as stouts go. still a good beer with a nice finish

Tasted from a ’nitro can’ pours with a tightly packed creamy head, really inviting! not as black as i thought it would be, it has ruby highlights. A roasty smokey nose followed by a pretty watery and weak body....can’t say i’ll do the nitro can again.

Certainly not the best stout out there, but this is the standard by which all others are measured. Quintessential stout beer, always enjoyable.

Haven’t rated yet, figured, why not. On tap. Pours a cola brown with a standard CO2 offwhite head. Empty nose with a bit of astringency and some slight bitterness. No huge flaws. Mouthfeel is about average for the style. Very quaffable. Flavors are in line with the nose. Astringency, a tiny bit of roast, but more like a bit burnt. Slight acrid acidity. Lingering burnt roast. Easy enough to drink.

From 500ml can. Pours dark brown and settles to black. Thick white head. Strong malty smell. Great flavor of chocolate and roasted malt. This stout is the bar by which I compare all other stouts.

Pours motor oil black with a large, billowing off-white head. Aroma is coffee, licorice, and hops. Flavor profile is not very diverse: malt, with an aggressive bitter quality. This was one of my gateway beers, but I can see that I have moved on.
