2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
nitro can, into guinness pint glass. pours pitch black with the infamous nitro beige head. there isn’t much going on in the aroma. a little bit of roasted malts and coffee, but very mild. taste is the same, with a slightly bitter and dry finish. mouthfeel seems thick, but it is watery for a stout. at least for my likings it is. i’ve always loved to call guinness "best crappy beer on earth". it is the perfect pint when out with your friends at a regular bar or pub, but has nothing on some of the fine craft beers.
3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nitro can. Looks great, hardly smells of anything - just a faint graininess and a hint of roast. Smooth nitro mouthfeel with some underlying wateryness. Mild sweetness, with some roasted malt, coffee sourness. Long very dry finish. Very drinkable, but really not much chop from the can. Will rate a good pint when I have one.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Guinness Draught has a thin, creamy, beige head and a very dark reddish-black appearance. It is clear under light. Aroma is sharp. The taste is of very dark roasted coffee, with chocolate characteristics and a hint of milk. Mouth-feel is heavy and dry. This stout finishes dry and pleasant. It is very malty. I’d like to have it again. I drank it poured into a pint glass, even though the bottle recommends drinking it from the bottle.

4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 19/20
one of my favorite beer I have ever tasted, and so much history behind this drink!
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a dark deep brown. Aroma of chocolate and barley with a rich taste of chocolate and roasted nuts. A good old traditional Pale Ale Malt that is a quality mass produced beer. Not on my everyday drinker list but is fine in a pinch.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
La canette nous donne un liquide noir, une mousse splendide, des arômes discrets mais agréables, des saveurs douces, trop douces, une texture vraiment crémeuse et une finale satisfaisante sans être vraiment percutante. Délicieuse en canette et en fût, cette stout est un classique qui fait bon de revisiter lorsqu’elle est la seule bière intéressante sur les tablettes de l’épicerie de Notre-Dame-des-Pins.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 12/20
(can) clear very dark brown with tall tan head; aroma of roast, coffee; watery palate; taste is dry, with short light bitter finish; overall very minimalistic - not bad, but not my choice of a stout
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tap (assuming nitro). Pours the prototypical Guinness black hue with that lovely two-finger light white cap. It really does look great when poured correctly...can’t argue that. However, the aroma is next to nothing for the most part. Light, faint roastiness and some sourness in the aroma. Touch of bitter chocolate in the flavor, with some light roasted qualities. Body is too watery, even though it somehow manages some creaminess as well. Not a bad brew in a pinch.
