Guinness is Guinness. Had on tap in Brusselsat Irish pub. Long story...Still one of the best, no matter where it’s consumed.

Dark reddish brown with a medium tan head. Malty and roasted tones. Malt, coffee and bitterness. Medium body with a long bitter after taste.

Bottle. Mild coffee nose, with some prunes and yeast. Thick dark brown, rocky tan head. Light coffee initial flavors; dark fruit (prunes, raisins) in mid palate; finish has a sting of bitterness and carbonation. Thin-medium body. Good body.

330 ml bottle from Alko. Pours black with a brown head. Aroma of roasted malt and some nuts. Very dry flavour of roasted malt and some nuts. A bitter finish.

A black beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted malt and nuts maybe. Taste the same. Better body than the draught, but maybe for an easy evening I prefer the draught.

Tastes like roasted barley, chocolate and coffee. Taste is strong all around, slightly bitter which I find to be a minus in this case. Still very drinkable and tasty.

Bottle 0.33l. Colour is dark brown with small white head. Aromas and flavour are roastiness, some coffee and chocolate, malts. Very dry and watery.

Kaatuu lasiin tumman colanvärisenä ja hieman valoa läpäisevänä. Vaahto on likaisen valkoinen ja iso jättäen reunuksen. Haju on paahteinen, maitoinen, marjainen, multainen ja marjapirtelöinen. Mieto maku on paahteinen, maitoinen, multainen ja hieman kahvinen. Suutuntuma on kevyt ja hieman tuhkainen. Kokonaisuutena tämä irkkutuotos on kuin maitokauppaversio, melko mieto ja harmiton. Lämmetessä tähän tulee enemmän makua ja täyteläisempi suutuntuma, etenkin mämmisyyttä nousee esiin.

#7 Unser Irish Pub hat es mittlerweile "Straight from the Cask" und es ist einfach überragend!! Diese sämige Bitterkeit verbunden mit dieser röstigen Malzigkeit ist unerreicht! Mittlerweile gibt es diese gehaltvolle Variante leider nicht mehr, weil nur noch die irische Version am Hahn hängt, schade.

A lighter version of the Irish tap one. Lacks body, much more watery, and some of the roasted flavours of the original . Quaffable, but plain and little boring.
