Guinness Draught

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

Serve in English pint

Nice aroma of chocolate, coffee. Poured with a good head, but with almost no carbonation. Beyond expiration? Overall lacking in flavor till the very end, then smoked coffee. I think there are better beers out there.

Doverosa premessa: una Guinness è una Guinness; impossibile paragonarla ad altre, poichè semplicemente unica. Secondo me molti cattivi giudizi sono influenzati dalla cattiva spillatura, che non può essere incolpata alla birra, ma a quegli spilorci che non usano carboazoto o che la servono in lattina, attivata con quel coso che dà una sorta di scarica elettrica, e non è certo la stessa cosa. Una vera Guinness si beve a Campoligure all’O Donoghue Pub: cremosa, con note di caffè e di caramello e un amaro importante, è una birra che è entrata nella storia; non vedo l’ora di provarla a Dublino.

Draught in Fagan’s Drumcondra. The best looking beer in the world with the wonderful ceremony of the pour. Dry on the palate and always tastes of more.

head: small but very creamy
colour : black
smell: not much actually bit of coffee bit of malts but mainly a thin watery smell
taste: malts , some coffee , a earthy note , a bit greasy , and a bit watery
a decent beer only lacks a bit of punch in it ... but decent

Black as night with a creamy tan head. Roasted aroma. Must admit I am not a stout fan. The taste is not as strong as the look of the brew would have you believe. Thin and quite tangy. I do like it, certainly not my natural choice though.

UPDATED: OCT 15, 2010 One of the finest black beers in the market.Not an intense taste though it is the perfect match with nuts,pizza or every meal.A little bit loses in the palate as it lacks just a pinch in carbonation...

UPDATED: JUN 15, 2010 A great Stout - great with beef or something else hearty. Definitely something that will fill you up, so bring a big appetite.

Black elixir, decent tan head, foamy lacing. Notes of coffee and chocolate. A bit thin tasting, with a slightly bitter aftertaste, like watered down expresso.
