Guinness Draught

Certainly a pretty beer as it pours, light aroma, mild roast taste but missing the flavor of many other dry stouts, a decent beer that is widely available

From a pint can, poured into a shaker glass with nitro fizziness, whatever you think of the taste or texture of nitro beer it is good looking. Settles into a black beer with bright amber highlights, a tight tan foam on top that recedes and leaves nice lacing on the glass. Smell is weak coffee and sour notes. Taste and feel are watery, with some light chocolate and coffee, and a sour taste that lingers. What happened to a beer I loved so much? Have I changed, or has the beer? The body is thin. The beer is not altogether unpleasant - it is smooth, reasonable refreshing, and certainly sessionable. But it lacks richness, depth, warmth, aroma, flavor, and body. There is just a small hint of roastiness - there is no creaminess, despite the widget. One of the beers that got me into the idea of beer diversity, a beer that I have lots of memories with, but not too tasty ini ts current incarnation.

on draft...very cold... jet black with off white head.. not much of an aroma... mild roasted taste... thick as chocolate milk... left me quickly

33cl bottle with nitro widget, thanks dev! pours very dark brown with creamy off white head. the aroma is very faint, some roast and cream. milky and cereal flavors, very bland, mild roast to it but this is bland and very over rated. it really looks creamy but it feels rather thin.

Once I said, "I will never get tired of Guinness". I was wrong. This is just so boring compared to so much other beers... where’s the taste? Very weak. I think I’ve been blunted.

nothing beats a properly poured Guinness. that "black liquidation with the froth on the top" knows it’s way right to my heart.....passed my lips, over my tongue and down my throat. Yummy maltiness and tasty coffee and chocolate flavors......way to good.

What most people think of when they think "stout." My first stout and my first draft beer pilfered for me at a pub in Wisconsin when I was 17 so it will always hold a special place for me. Still a very drinkable beer, but it does tend to suffer from a little bit of a thin presence in the mouth. Stouts should be more. . . stout.

Decided to try this different ways in the same day...nitro can, regular bottle, and on tap. First impression is that it is an ok stout, but suffers from a very thin mouthfeel. Looks great, smells typical if light, but it just misses that thick roasty element.
