Guinness Draught

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

more than likely the most recognizable beer in the world. a 250 year old beer that has gotten better ever year that it has been brewed. tastes great, smells great. the falling foam is probably the best sight you will ever see in a beer.

Tap. Pours black, white head. Smooth taste of coffee, chocolate, very creamy. dry finish. Very enjoyable. (19.11, Corrected an error I found in the rating. )

Pours a pitch black with the signature creamy white Guinness head. The aroma is sweet, with a hint of vanilla and roasted malt. The flavor is of roasted malt, with a slight kick of coffee and sweetness. Very thin body, too thin. Yay Guinness, amiright?!

A true classic right here. It looks incredible out of the tap. Dark dark brown color with a swirling lighter shade going into a nice thick head. Taste is extremely dry, very smooth. Overall, just an excellent beer, you really can’t go wrong with this guy.

Leather jacket, wintry night, brown bag, the streets of NYC. Coupled with a fine stew...

14.9 oz can. Everyone has had this beer so i’m just going to say it has a very watery finish. not as bad from the can. It’s a weak stout. Black no real aroma and a slight coffee slight chocolate taste. but everything is still watered down. not as bad as murphy’s but close. I only drink this if i go out to eat and it’s the only dark beer they have.

There is some notes of chocolate, malts and butter in aroma and taste, but its all very faint. Finish is dry, as should be. Poured rightly (an Irish friend once claimed that it has to do with gas pressure) this is not a bad brew.

Obviously a damn good looking beer. Pouring this beer and staring at it is just as much fun as drinking it. It’s too bad the nitro sacrifices much of the aroma and flavor though. Very little aroma. If you try you can pick out some hints of roasted malts and coffee aromas. Flavor is mild. Light roasted, dry stout, flavors. The palate is extremely creamy, but also thin and flat. The nitro is does a great job at making this extremely smooth and drinkable, but also makes it seem more like drinking skim milk. I enjoy this more on draught at a pub rather than from a can. Not sure why. More of a culture than just a beer. It’s a dependable beer that is always available. I still prefer the bottled extra stout though.
