The appearance is brilliant, it’s the best looking beer in the world. The head is practically permanent! As for the taste, it’s a very drinkable black beer.

Pours very black with like an ice cream head. Tastes like a watered down stout. Very easy to drink and nice on a hot day.

Hadn’t hat it in a while. Remember it being beautiful off the tap in Dublin, but took it out of a bottle last night. A little bland, a little watery, but still sexy to look at and surprisingly creamy.

Afterall, the famous Guinness! I acctually delayed to drink this one, because of so many opinions about it from everywhere, much different and sometimes much advertising-like ones. Well, today decided to get it and it was good! It poured nice dark brown with clear brown dense foam, very persistent one, though quite small. The aroma came nicely stout one, with some malt, coffee and cocoa. Some sweetness came along with some licorous aroma of I-don’t-quite-know-what, but it was nice! Uniform little olily to water body. Flavor, though, was weaker than I expected. Some coffee and chocolate barely noticed. The aftertaste brought a nice mouth-fulling bitterness, and a little bit of chocolate. Good one!

bottle. poured black with a creamy light brown head that would not go away. aroma was wonderful with notes of coffee. flavor was a weak coffee with some bitterness. it seemed a little oily at first the went to watery. i had not had this since i was 18 and still trying to figure out why i did not like it then. this is a very easy drinking stout.

Nothing better than a perfectly poured Guinness on a cold winter night. Such a smooth beer from start to finish. Can understand why most people are intimidated by its appearance but dont be...this is truly a great easy to drink beer.

on tap at local dive bar on nitro tap. Nice and creamy, but light body and poundable. I know many of you serious beer people hate nitro taps, and I do agree that they aren’t appropriate from certain brews, but I think it is perfect of this brew. There isn;t much in the way of flavor or aroma, but I like the creamy head and the silky smoothness of a cheap and poundable stout on draft. Overall: I don;t agree with people who praise or shun Guinnesse. Its a fine safety brew.
