Creamy. Little carbonation. An acquired taste.

Rerate. Now with many more stout experience under my belt, I revisited this one and was significantly disappointed. Thin, lacking in flavor and muted all around. There’s still a distant bitterness and creaminess to it, but it just falls short. Thanks for the first experience with stout, Arthur Guinness, but I’m going to be siding with some of the more recent style interprations.

On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. Creamy, great looking stout. My first stout . Love the body & head but flavor is lacking a bit. Just doesnt live up to the American stouts

Guinness is still a good beer for me but its not as great as I once thought. I still enjoy one when it's poured correctly and served at the correct temp. Appearance is excellent and maybe none better. Flavor is somewhat bitter with a fairly weak mouthfeel. This beer will always be a classic to me but its no longer a favorite. I still have no problem having one and will continue to do so. A good intro into the world of good beer.

nice looking beer! foamy head dribbles down to nothing. Very lively at first. Very bland. So many better stouts out there

where to start on this beer. we’ve all had it. it was the first foray into non macros for many of us in th U.S. i’m gonna try to rate this objectively. Draft. Poured a dark black with a thick and foamy slightly off white head. i enjoy watching the cascade of this beer as it settles. taste is a healthy bitter with a creamy mouth feel. leaves a great malt taste at the finish.

Draught at the Old Joint Stock, Birmingham. 1041 ratings! what on earth is there left to say that's original?? This is undoubtedly nice, and moreish, and the mouthfeel is excellent. The taste isn't too strong, but there are hints of coffee and cream in there. This is an old reliable session beer and no mistake.

Rerate: I just read my original view. My tastes have grown since my first test, and I find it even more vile now. I really can’t drink this. It is absolutely shocking that this bland nitro-ed-up rubbish scores higher than some really decent cask ales. It doesn’t even look like beer
