I like this beer very much. It’s easy to drink and when your friend next to you orders something that very light clear yellow, you look like the man while he looks like a lightwieght. Dark black body with a fairly white, persistant, creamy head. I really like this beer, enough to make my "signature drink" because it’s good and is rather ubiquitous as apposed to my other favorites, Rogue’s Shakespear and Paulaner. Another interesting thing about this beer is that when you look at it after it’s poured, the bubbles go towards the bottom than the top. They put this device called the rocket widget inside of it to help with the taste. Brilliant! Drank it from a shaker.

Possibly the best beer ever brewed. Goes on easy. Isn’t filling, coffee/chocolate aroma. It’s like a milkshake. A+ Beer. Well worth the expensive price

Caramel, licorice nose, thick creamy tan head, pitch black, creamy smooth mouthfeel, mild carbonation, coffee, licorice, slightly bitter finish, by far one of my all time favorites.

Everything about this beer is great. From the rich aroma of roasted barley to the delectable taste of chocolate malts, this beer was made for beer lovers. The appearance of Guinness is beautiful, a deep ruby red color topped with a light tan creamy head. The creamy nitrogenated head is manufactured to stick with your glass until the very last sip. Unfortunately most bar owners, especially in America, do not serve Guinness in the proper glass nor do they pour it the proper way so your Guinness experience may not always be the greatest. When you can find a pub that pours Guinness in an Imperial/Tulip shaped pint glass and practices the two part pour technique, I dare anyone to find a more delectable beer. Quite possibly the greatest beer in the world.

This is my favorite beer. Its definitely best on tap, but the bottles and cans do it justice. Thick head and robust flavor. It’s a meal in a glass. Best part is that they have it just about everywhere worth going.
