blipp (1630), Newark, New Jersey, USA Aug 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours almost black with a creamy off white head. Very light aroma, just a hint of roasted malt. Light, creamy body. Flavor is lightly roasted with a bit of a sour edge. This is the most over rated beer on this site. LilBeerDoctor (1480), East Setauket, New York, USA Aug 15, 2008 Time to finally rate this beer. Pours black with the classic light tan head. Aroma of stale wheat (oddly enough). Flavor is quite bland and watery, slight roast and chocolate. Chalky, smooth palate. Easy drinking I guess but there’s not much flavor here. Steinface (77), Hatfield, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 14, 2008 Who doesn’t know Guinness honestly? Its the stout, I haven’t really met anyone who doesn’t like this beer. Its Guinness Borresteijn (1347), Amstelveen, Netherlands Aug 11, 2008 On tap @ Hole in the Wall/Hoopman’s, Amsterdam. Even if you don’t like the taste of Guinness, you’ve got to love the sight of this beer. Beautiful black appearance with a deep red hue and a great thick creamy beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee and nitrogen. Flavour is slightly sweet roasted malts, coffee and a bitter finish. A bit thin, but very smooth, creamy and tasteful. A sour bitterness takes over when it warms up, so drink it very cold. johntreeter (121), Greenwood, Indiana, USA Aug 9, 2008 14.9oz can,but best on tap. Pours a black amber color with a creamy and so thick you can rest a spoon on it head that caked the glass with lacing. Aromas of roasted malt and a nitrogen scent. Nice malty and slightly sweet flavor with a good dry almost spicy hop balance. Full body, light nitro carb, creamy texture, smooth feel. A beautiful looking beer that is my go to stout not only for quality, but the price is very fair as well. Conrad (6), , New Jersey, USA does not count Aug 9, 2008 This is my favorite beer. Its definitely best on tap, but the bottles and cans do it justice. Thick head and robust flavor. It’s a meal in a glass. Best part is that they have it just about everywhere worth going. BeerBunker (601), Burbank, Illinois, USA Aug 9, 2008 Pours black with brown head. The head never dissipates. Smells moderately of malts. Creamy mouthfeel, with an overall watery taste. Best option at local dive bars. Carl99Fan (186), Suwanee, Georgia, USA Aug 9, 2008 Wow. Haven’t had a Guinness in 22 years and I could kick myself. The BEST session beer ever. Smooth, creamy taste. This is absolutely what beer is meant to taste like. Will never get tired of this brew.
