CROchamp (10), USA May 17, 2008 A truly unique stuff - the darkest, and heaviest generally available beer. Never underestimate it! marcher87 (8), Dublin, Ireland does not count May 17, 2008 love guinness. Although a lot depends on how it is poured, which greatly effects it’s consistency. Particularly the second pour, a lot of people think it is better to push the tap forward for this, which it is not. it is better to top up the pint by pulling the tap towards you, as it gives a grater flavour and creamier pint. Brewsmith (136), Torrance, California, USA May 16, 2008 From a pint on draft at the Chili’s in Phoenix Sky Harbor. Slight aroma of roast. Jet black with a thick, creamy off-white head that stays. Fantastic lacing. Dry, not overly roasted, and just a touch of sweetness to balance the roast and hop bitterness. A little bittersweet chocolate. Creamy, easy drinking. Chewey, yet light. Low carbonation makes it very quaffable. whiteman1488 (18), New York, USA May 16, 2008 I like Guinness. It looks good, tastes good, goes down smooth - it’s not the world’s best by any means, but it’s a good beer that most bars have on tap. And in Ireland it’s better than in America phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA May 15, 2008 Pours a deep dark black colour, with a large vanilla coloured head. full, creamy and very smooth mouthfeel. Firm taste, flavors of milk chocolate, and balanced dark roasted malts. an incredibly smooth beer- not to say the other guinesse’s aren’t- but this is by far my favorite. zamco17 (134), Corpus Christi, Texas, USA May 13, 2008 Sometimes i just feel like one of these. Sometimes its black water if i’m not in the mood for it. A good beer....sometimes. DavoleBomb (2), Pennsylvania, USA does not count May 12, 2008 If I sucked and liked bitter water, then I would like this beer.
Appearance: Poured a dark brown. Gave off the appearance of a beer that tasted like something, but wasn’t.
Aroma: It smelled alright, but nothing special. Didn’t make me want to gag like cheap beer.
Flavor: Bitter water. No other flavors present.
Palate: Once again, bitter water. Horrible.
Overall Impression: Let me put it this way...I had the option of drinking this beer, Yuengling, and I.C. Light for free and I ended up drinking Yuengling and I.C. Light (to support local business, not because I.C. Light tastes good). dirt55 (150), Washington, USA May 10, 2008 Updated: Mar 13, 2009draught can, thanks to the nitrogen heavy thick tan head, thick black color with hint of ruby around edges, very mild hopped aroma with light/medium roasted notes, full mouth-feel with light carbonation, roasted up front and bitters in back, roasted body lasting on palate, can pass up if found on tap
