Guinness Draught

Brewed by St. James’s Gate (Diageo)
Style: Dry Stout
Dublin, Ireland

This seems to be the iconic premium beer that you can get pretty much anywhere. With the creamy head it looks like coffee with whipped cream on top. The taste is very coffee like in nature, thanks to the dark roasted malt. Overall it is a good beer, the taste is not overpowering, and it has a good mouthfeel given its creamy texture.

It’s my first love. I fell in love of Guinness because of the creamy foam, the stong taste, the feeling in your mouth and throat...

12oz bottle from the beer store A more detailed description will follow on a second tasting I have misplaced my comments for this beer

This is probably....if not absoutely......my favorate beer......who can resist the dark amber red and the smooth creamy head....just be careful that you pour it right...it’s not like most beers you pour straight into the glass. I’m having myself a pint now as I’m typing this

Ok, it’s guinness. This beer is super clean and smooth but has hardly any flavor. Definitely easy drinking. One thing I would say, my buddy brought back cans from St. James Gate, which we compared to American Draft cans and there was a definite difference. Not crazy, but more bitterness and stronger flavor in the St. James Gate version. The cans were taller as well. Not sure if it deserves it’s own rating, but there is a difference.

On draught at Shores Inn in St. Clair Shores. Have had this a million times, but have never gotten around to rating it. Pours dark brown/black with big creamy tan head. Aroma not very strong, of roasted malt and a tinge of coffee. Taste of burnt/roasted malt, coffee, mild hops. Mouthfeel creamy yet finishes a bit watery. An OK stout, and a good gateway back in the day, to open the door to other stouts. A stepping stone to more adventurous stuff.

(Bottle). Light semi-sweet malty aroma. Black body, creamy beige head. Flavor is very mild, somewhat sweet, watery, cardboard-ish. Not unpleasant, but far too thin and watery.

Had this from every medium imaginable. Poured an obsidian black with a creamy off white head. Aroma of coffee and roasted malt. Flavor is the same, with a dry crisp finish.
