Ah Guinness... Poured into pint glass, nice cascade effect finally leaving a nice two fingers worth of head and some moderate lacing on the way down. It tastes just like it smells, creamy and smooth. This brew goes down so easily, you could easily have one or two and not even feel guilty about going for a third. I have to say the mouthfeel is definitely better on tap. In fact on tap is definitely the way to go with this brew, but I’ll take it either way. This is the best brew just to have in the fridge at all times. Not something that you expect to be complex, and full of artistry and masterfulness. It is what it is...old faithful. It’s always there, and always good. Reviewed on: 02-18-2007

Pours a deep black with a thick full tan head that does not disapate, but stays with you for the whole glass. Taste of malt. Is extremely smooth and drinkable, however there is not much depth to the taste. I’ve had this in a can and on tap and definitely can tell the difference. The tap version has a better taste.

Very thick and creamy pour. Big, white head with a lot of flavor and scent. Very smooth and drinkable. Definitely lives up to its reputation.

Pours dark black into a creamy head which never really dissipates, but fades into lingering heavy lacings on the side of the glass. Aroma of creamy yeasty hops and malty barley. Tap is preferred, but bottle is easily available everywhere. Never get used to the widget in the bottle though.

This is a black and creamy velvet classic. smoky chocolate flavour with a double cream texture. This is THE standard stout should be measured by.

A decent stout that people usually either love or hate. Personally, i’m somewhere in the middle. I’m happy to drink it but i’ll stick to one pint and then switch to something else.

This is a nice dry stout. Not too much to be said that hasn’t been said about a beer with this distribution. Malty, with chocolate and coffee flavors. Not much hop presence. very good for the style, pour a black and tan along with some bass and you will not be disappointed.
