Guinness Draught

Brewed by St. James’s Gate (Diageo)
Style: Dry Stout
Dublin, Ireland

Serve in English pint

Honestly, what I am supposed to say? The most recognizable stout out there. Pours dark, with a beautiful cascade, nice thick creamy head. barley, roasted malts, etc....It’s a right of passage.

50 cl. can @ home. Beautiful looking beer with its almost black body and creamy head. Smell of coffee, chocolate and roasted malts. the taste is a bit underwhelming in relation to the look and smell. A bit watery and thin. Still an interesting beer an maybe an aquired taste. will resample.

Not a bad beer, but a little less exciting than their other offerings. Love the distinctive black and tan head coloration. All in all not a bad beer.

500ml draught can. creamy head is what sells it. Taste is a bit watery for my liking. but always acceptable being an irishman.

01.06.2011 - Houston, TX On Tap Staple beer. Always my go to. If you get tired of this deliciousness you can experiment with layering. Some less common ones are purple haze and blue moon. Try it on out!

On tap at local pub. Deep brown to black in colour and a fantastic creamy beige head. Aromas of roasted malt and som sweet chocolate. This continues into the mouth along with darker chocolate and some leather. Nice well-balanced and dry bitterness. Unfortunately it is often served too cold and you have to wait a bit to release all the aroma and flavours. It has a watery mouthfeel and feels very silky. Overall a real classic and it is hard to find a beer that is very similar to Guinness. For me this guinness may be a little bit too light in the mouth as a stout, but it never disappoints.

Bottle. Just not the same as a draft. Great aroma and color (almost black with a thin white head). Very thin on the palate. Taste is a bit watery for my liking. I will have to re-rate when I have this on tap again.

440 ml can, slightly out of date unfortunately. Pours a deep dark brown with reddish reflects. Nice thick beige head. Tastes sweet, some roasted malt, slightly reminiscent of milk chocolate. Thick head gives the somewhat watery body a creamier feel. Not as good as I remembered (maybe because this can I just had was somewhat old), but definitely a classic.
