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.

11.2 oz bottle. The aroma is of coffee for this stoutish beer. I drank this out of the bottle so I can’t say much about the appearance, but I remember from the bar that I really liked the waterfall. The flavor is similar to the taste of coffee. Medium bitterness, light sweetness. Creamy texture, flat in carbonation. Overall a very good taste, and easy to drink but lacking in the ABV.

Nice dark color with frosty head. Rich flavor that tends to end rather abruptly. Very nice beer. I will concur with other posters here that it is not very good in cans or bottles.

Pour is pretty amazing, nice dark black color with a cream colored head that you can see rise from the bottom. Slightly roasted aroma. Starts smooth with building flavor that ends abruptly and melds into a watery coffee mixture that finishes with a bitter coffee taste.

Somewhat of a watery mouthfeel for a stout, due to the nitrogen. Guinness draft always looks much better than it tastes.

I love this beer. I dont have access to alot of draft stouts but even if I did Im sure this would still be near the top of my list. I last had it after a round of golf while watching the British Open in a British pub eating some curry. It doesnt get much better than that
