3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a beautiful brownish-black, with lots of long lasting tan head. The aroma is a bit weak, but still inviting. The taste is just too thin for a stout. Despite the ample head, my glass tastes almost flat, no real mouth-feel. Smooth enough and drinkable. Can’t really recommend this one if you can get a better stout.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark brown/black, creamy tan head. Aroma is coffee, roasted malt, along with a meaty salami aroma. Taste is more malt and coffee. Not bad.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Tap in denver. 20 minutes until the light rail comes and my
nasty waitress is taking her sweet time. Pours a deep black
appearance with a thick big creamy head. Dark sweet chocolate malts in the nose. Somewhat light body with a creamy dark chocolate malty flavor. Very creamy. Some alcohol on the finish. I don’t know what the craze about this beer is. I find it light for a stout, too creamy (nitro), and too thin of body.

Me encantan las cervezas negras pero no puedo con la Guinnes, empalagosa y fina hasta el desastre.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap; pour is dark brown/black with a nice khaki head. The head is incredibly frothy as is the trademark for this brew. Excellent retention and lacing. Aromas are feint smoked barley; flavors are creamy (from the head) malt, slight smoked characters, a touch of sweetness, but ultimately the flavor profile is muted, body is light and watery. Finish is dry...
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours pitch black with a very decent slowly dissipating cream head. Light malty aromas. Taste is very malty and sweet. Some smooth bitterness, coffee and barley hints to be noticed in the flavor. Finish is not very strong and medium dry. Palate is medium bodied, creamy and smooth. Very little carbonation. Overall a very decent dry stout. Very enjoyable in moderate quantities
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Color nero pieno con splendida schiuma beige. Aroma decisamente tostato. Anche in bocca la tostatura è evidente, ma ottimamente bilanciata. Molto cremosa, certo bevuta a Dublino è tutta un’altra storia.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hotel bar tick. Once or twice a year I order a Guinness on draft, hoping to recapture some pretty great experiences from the past, when the goopy, soupy goodness of it combined with deep flavor and dry finish memorably. But either memory clouds things or this beer is all too often a bit papery and watery on draft these days. Decent and I still dig the roasty flavors but we’re a long way from Huddersfield, Jack.
