davidm (126), Melbourne, Australia Aug 28, 2009 On tap. Delicious breakfast beer. Malty burnt aroma. Large creamy head, and beautiful black colour. Flavour is growingly bitter, and long lasting. Full bodied with an oily texture. docholliday (1), Los Angeles, California, USA does not count Aug 27, 2009 Kinda sour in the beginning after after a few gulps... it will most certainly become enjoyable.. drowland (1360), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Aug 26, 2009 I’ve had this many times. In general, I think it’s an overrated beer that is somewhat weak in flavor for a stout, and better ones are out there. PaulsPissed (32), Dublin, Ireland Aug 26, 2009 Large thick creamy head which stays untill the last sip, creamy coffee aroma. taste seems to vary depending on how its pourred or how fresh it is. good strong roasted taste with a hint of coffee. creamy bitter finish. sometimes a little bit sweet towards the end but this seems to depend on where I get it. brosen561 (19), Minnesota, USA Aug 25, 2009 Tap. Wonderful black-brown color with a thick, creamy head which cascades into the beer. Aroma of coffee and smoke, and a hint of fresh baked bread. Nice mouth feel, a little less full than one would think from the look of it, but good. Chocolate, coffee, and molasses tastes with a nice sharp bitterness. Finishes clean with some left over bitterness wanting you to drink more. A solid standard. angrybeerman (107), Dublin, Ireland Aug 24, 2009 Updated: Sep 1, 2009The classic stout (though not necessarily the best one). Looks good when poured well- creamy, thick and black. Creamy, dry and bitter with hints of coffee and a rather chocolaty aroma. Can be sweet if poured in a certain way. Usually has a bitter finish. Also a bit filling. Pookie9121 (81), Columbia, South Carolina, USA Aug 23, 2009 12 oz. Bottle. Guinness is the beer I go to when I want something flavorful but not overpowering. It has a lot of flavor but the great taste doesn’t linger in your mouth once you finish it. Great beer to have on hand when you can’t decide what else to drink. Pours great, smells great, and tastes great. Recommended.
