Guinness Draught

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

Serve in English pint

While this beer is a classic, and while everyone in Ireland seems to drink several pints a day, I’m not as impressed. The look and smell are both fabulous, but to me the ultimate taste is a bit thin and too much like charcoal. Young’s Double Chocolate is much more smooth, while any number of other stouts have more flavor.

The nitrogen is what really has made this an international beer. The beautiful head with the dark body makes it beautiful. Not as smooth as Murphy’s but has poppy-er flavor notes.

THE Stout! A bit too much of bitterness in my opinion. Beautifull white head, nice carbonation

My favorite of any extremely-common beer, and a fantastic standby. Very light, sweet aroma due to the soft, thick head. What follows is a sweet, bready taste which feels full in the mouth and finishes with a full woody aftertaste. That smoky taste can be unpleasant to a lot of people, but I think it’s fantastic. And also, I know it says you can enjoy it straight from the bottle or can, but if you can get a truly slow-poured draft from the tap, or slowly pour it yourself from the bottle, I think it’s better.

Pitch black colour, thick creamy head. Roasted malt flavour with a hint of sourness.

Nice carbonation noticed when uncapping the bottle. Nice beige colored head. Black in color with a redish brown tint when held up to light. Very malty aroma with no hop aroma present. Very insipid flavor with a slight bitterness at the end. Leaves a clean pallet. Overall an average beer. Would make a good "lawn mower" beer.

what’s left to be said? it’s Guinness! often use it to introduce friends to the dark side!

Can’t believe I hadn’t rated this yet. Pours pitch black with a thick, creamy tan head. Aroma is creamy roasted malts. Flavor is dry roasted malts with some coffee and some hops. Good stuff.

Always a smooth and creamy experience. Great mouth feel, not much an after taste. Super dark with a beautifully white head.
