mjs (1446), Helsinki, Finland Jul 8, 2008 (Draught at Gravity Bar on 2008-07-02) Black. Medium-sized dense lightly tan head. Roasted malts and coffee in nose. Full and dry palate with some carbonation. Roasted malts, hint of coffee, tiny hint of chocolate. Some burnt taste. Slight bitterness in aftertaste.
SeanMacGC (233), Dublin, Ireland Jul 6, 2008 Iconic appearance, with legendary white head. Acquired taste perhaps, but the malt and yeast are perfectly balanced, with distinctive signature bitterness. Block (363), West Lafayette, Indiana, USA Jul 5, 2008 Updated: Jul 18, 2008I really enjoy this beer. Excellent pour, dark brown to black in color, tan head that lasts for the whole glass. Smooth and creamy. I’m not a coffee drinker but this stout has a very nice balance of flavors. doogie (24), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 3, 2008 On draught most places I go - It’s black, and I never detected a lot of aroma. What I like about Guinness is the balanced taste: some malt and some hops that blend for a nice flavor with a slightly bitter finish. It’s my session beer - Irish session - when I like to enjoy the pleasantness that beer has to offer, and still stay sharp enough to play music DrFunk (80), Sorumsand, Norway Jul 3, 2008 On tap at Balsam cockail Lounge, Oslo.
Pours beautifully. Nothing compares to its appearance. A bit short on the nose, but nice and dry with roasted malt and lingering aftertaste. A classic Tomyetoedt33 (5), Cedarass, Wisconsin, USA does not count Jul 2, 2008 This Is such a fantastic beer i suggest everyone to try it however, it is deffinetly not for everyone as i have heard from many a person that they think it tastes like canned bread. To me it tastes like gold. Ober (1165), Bommelerwaard, Netherlands Jul 1, 2008 Updated: Jul 9, 2008A black as black can be colored beer. The head is small, it’s beige, it’s foamy and it stay’s on the beer. The aroma of roasted malts, with some coffee smell. The taste is smooth, and tin coffee, roasted malts with a little chocolat. It has a bitter aftertaste. UriahHeep (103), Georgia, USA Jun 30, 2008 Served in a chilled pint glass. I’m somewhat disappointed with the Draught. It’s nowhere near as thick and creamy as Extra Stout. It pours a similar deep amber/almost black color imbued with caramel tones. There is a roasty character to this beer, but it is a little too thin and watery. Leaves a nice bitter sensation on the palate. Strong aroma and taste of coffee. At the end of the pint it left a pool of bittersweet nitrogen foam, which I enjoyed.
