Draught. Not much to be said that hasn’t been said by others. Remains to this day one of the most visually appealing beers I’ve seen. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee. Taste is quite light, roasty, some coffee and chocolate. An excellent choice of beer when your objective is to have many beers in a sitting. A classic.

500ml can: not draft but on the other hand at the a much better temperature and the widget does a pretty good job of duplicating a tap. Cascades out of the can, eventually turns into a nice, dark black pour with a frothy light tan head. Roasted aroma, smooth, creamy and light mouthfeel, slight bitterness on the aftertaste. Always a go to macro at a pub with no micros.

UPDATED: JUL 15, 2011 Guinness Draught. One of my personal favorites. This beer is what got me into beer in the first place, changing my mind about beer in general. Nice foamy, off-white head. Almost olid black in appearance. Heavy malt and hop flavors that shine through but not too much. Just the right amount of bitterness to appreciate. Good stuff. Thanks Arthur Guinness.

0,33 l bottle, abv 4,2% from a TESCO.
Looks good with an untransparent black body, a stable foamy-pillowy light beige head on the surface that diminishes slowly. Moderated aroma with roasted grains in the first second, some burnt woods and sugars. Medium oily body, light texture with caramel, mild roasted grains, molasses and some hops in the finish. Burnt-roasted aftertaste.

Can. Clear very dark brown pour, dense nitro head of fine bubbles. Nutty, slightly roasty aroma with a slightly tart note in the background. Surprisingly watery body, slightly metallic nuttiness, a little roast, coffee, a slightly acidic finish. Drinkable but not a great example of the style.

Stunning signature nitro foam effect, never get tired of looking at it ) Pitch black with finger thick dense foam, quite persistent and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, apples. Silky mouthfeel, a bit watery in the middle bit with a nice finishing roasty/hoppy bite. Roastiness prevails in taste with notes of coffee, chocolate, some dark fruit and wood. light sourness. Refreshing!

UPDATED: JUN 8, 2011 Rerate: had this one on tap again and it was really enjoyable, it was very smooth and easy to drink. Much better then in a can, this is good stuff
One of the best looking beers, this beer pours dark and is quite flavourful, harsh and bitter taste, good offer, always up for a glass of guinness
