pours murky dark brown. almost black with a thick beige head, beautiful lacing. nose does not present any complexity. good malt structure, low carbonation, taste is coffee and roastiness with nice supporting hops (nice finish too). no so complex but so much better than many beers in a regular pub...!

gemmat5 (20) - Cuneo, ITALY - JAN 14, 2011
Aroma inesistente, terribilmente acquosa, insapore e oleosa da fare schifo. Una pessima birra di cui non mi spiego l’abnorme diffusione. Costantemente servita troppo fredda.

Not bad at all, but much overrated in my opinion. Better than many other beers in pubs indeed.

Amazing appearance as the body slowly forms and takes its black colour. Coffee and malt in the aroma. Smooth creamy and with virtually no carbonation texture. Nice but watery taste, with a short spicy aftertaste. It is meant for quantities...

Very black pour. Smells of cigarette ashes and bitterness. Taste is creamy and burned. Can.

Stay with Guinness Extra Stout. I guess this is the watered down version, Should be called Guinness Lite.

UPDATED: FEB 25, 2011 Guinness doesn’t travel well at all. Even across the ditch in England, it doesn’t compare to the Guinness you can get in Ireland so that’s the one I’m rating. Direct from the factory in Dublin. Very dark almost totally black apart from the brown swirling as it settles. Thick creamy light brown head that has excellent lacing. Has a nice sweet taste with a smooth soft bitter finish. Quality beer!
