Black with a creamy, light brown head. Aroma is roasted malt and coffee. Flavor is medium sweet and light bitter. Thin bodied for at stout at least. Smooth with a dry and light roasted bitter finish. 051209

On tap. One of the best looking beers out there- has a thick, creamy head that develops as the beer settles after pouring. Light carbonation with a full body. It has a slight bitter aftertaste that might not be as noticeable if you are drinking it with a meal.

Draft at Average Joe’s; Pours black, creamy off-white head, typical Guinness lacing, which is gorgeous as usual. Nose is tart fruit, berries, some roast. Flavours are light and dry, clean with berries. Dull, flat, and boring.

Guinness is a classic. When cold, it does not have very much of a scent out of the can. Smells like milk, slight toast scent. The taste is dry, and a roasted, toast-like bitterness takes over. The palate is of course extremely creamy.

Very dark beer. People think its black, but its actually a very deep red. When poured, you have to wait approx. 2 min. for all the "action" to settle in the glass. Guinness is a very thick beer, and I find that it taste good warm or cold. If you can get past the reputation, its delicious.

Dark beer with a white foamy head. Bitter taste. An excellent beer to start the evening with.
