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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can. Great beer. bit watery but still a great taste. Had a sip from a glass on draft, think that is better. Still got some cans at home. When I get the chance to drink a draft guinness, I would surely take it.
