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

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Completely black and opaque with a good, lacing, beige head. Toasted and lightly burned malt aroma. Medium body with some lightly sweet, burned malt and a bitter, burned finish deriving from the same malt. 230307

Dark mahogany colour with a lasting light brown head. Light aroma of toast, cheap coffee and macro ale - adjuncts, quick & dirty esters (think Alexander Keith’s). Reasonably full body, slight creaminess. Light roast flavour, with hints of milk chocolate. Too much carbonation - not only detracts from the presentation but amplifies the astringent roast finish to unpleasant effect.

Big mocha head atop black body. Aroma is medium sweet, malty and roasty. Taste is malty, roasty up top, some coffee, and mildly sweet. Finishes with pleasant bitterness. The beer has nice creaminess, full body, and some chewiness. I prefer this to Guinness' regular stout.

Compared to Guiness stout I found texture and appeareance to be the main differences. The stout seemed more creamy.

Pours dark thick color with only the lightest ruby color showing through. Has a thick tan head, without the nitrogen, which is nice. Sweet candy-like almost foreign stout aroma with some smoky peat malt character. Body is sugary sweet and lightly complex with hints of dark fruits. Finishes bittersweet, dry and lightly roasted. A nice dry stout.
