COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Labatt's brew a pale ale base to which is added the unfermented but hopped Guinness wort extract. Guinness Extra Stout is brewed in Canada by Labatt under license from Arthur Guinness Son & Company. Editor's Note: It looks like Moosehead is also brewing Guinness. Bottles in the US are from there of late, but Canadian bottles are still showing Labatt. 04/23/06

341ml bottle pours almost black on color with a finger of geige head that retains well and leaves some spotted lacing on the glass. Aroma is roasted malts with hints of coffee. Taste is roasted malt bitterness with some chocolate malt sweetness and hints of coffee, while any hops are quite subdued. Body is a little thin for the style and carbonation is nice. Overall, quite a nice ale.

In my most objective opinion, this is the bench mark of all Stoudts, but then , you knew that. It looks great, taste great, smells great, yada-yada- yada. What cqn I say?

My favorite stout! Readily available and more fun than Guinness Draught! Just a great stout to kick back and enjoy. A Whoopie Goldberg in every bottle! Yummy!

Rocky, fizzy, tan head of approx 2 fingers. Aroma was light malt which matched the palate. Overall, I was slightly disappointed with this beer. It is supposed to be an extra stout, but comes across as a normal stout. Nothing special or different here. Overall it was good, but forgettable.

Bottle. Pours black with lacing and a whitish head. Smells of roasted malt and barley. Some coffee notes.. but minimal. Taste is peppy.. kind of dances on the tongue.. but the tastes is lightly bitter.. and lightly sweet. This is solid..
