Guinness Draught

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

Pours a dark brown with creamy tan head. Aroma is largely nutty. Body is creamy but not thick. Flavor is nutty with malt notes but not strong or overpowering. Bitter undertones.

16 oz. can. I love beer, but I can’t get down with Guinness, is something wrong with me? Looks beautiful, but I can’t get over how flat this brew is. Some horseradish or soy sauce flavors way down there...Thick and dark.

Well what colour do you think it is? Classic stiff ’moustaching’ head. Strong roasted barley flavour and with hops and yeast coming through. Malt finish. Lovely.

Aroma: Roasted malts, muted by the dense head. Appearance: Mud-brown froth rolls with effervescence, finally settling down into a black body with a dense beige head. The head never fully dissipates, and fully coats the far side of the glass. Flavor: Molasses-like roast malts, not strong, nicely balanced by bitterness. Palate: Creamy-smooth, but not at all heavy.

Nice taste - slightly dark roast coffee - esque, but it is just a bit watery. Love the creamy texture and it’s just so smooth throughout. A very easy beer to drink.

On Tap. Ok the famous Guinness, well It looks real pretty in the glass all black and stuff,with that creamy head. A nice subtle roasted malt aroma. The flavor is a creamy chocolate, malt,maybe a little tobacco. All in all I thought this to be a good offering,I drank 3 , but there are much better stouts locally.

Guinness outside of western Europe is nothing short of a disappointment for anyone who has enjoyed the real thing. Assuming this the same Guinness one would be served if stationed on the Emerald Isle, this Irish classic gets its’ own chapter in the history book of brew. It is difficult to match the experience of being served a Guinness in the proper setting. Novelty aside, the well established flavor and musk of a real Guinness will always leave one with the fond memory of how a stout should be. If possible, try not to drink the foreign rip offs.

Can de 440 ml. - Biere de couleur noir avec un tres tres beau collet cremeux et tres collant. Odeur de chocolat, cafe brule, et un peu d’epice. Gout tres faible, un peu de café.
