Sep 28, 2009 Sour, roasted malt taste. Very dark, but not quite opaque. Long lasting head. Minimal aroma. Nothing outstanding.

Sep 19, 2009 Sweeter, roastier than standard Guinness. The aroma is roasted coffee, chocolate. The apperance is dark black, white head. The flavor is nice roasted coffee, and sweet and bitter dark chocolate. The finish was a competition for roastiness and hops, finishing with a nice bitterness. Medium mouthfeel, a little thin for the style.

Sep 19, 2009 From a bottle in the bar at the Guinness Storehouse brewery tour, Dublin. This comes with a darker and rockier head than
draught. Much more bitter and fuller flavored with a fruity aspect not seen in the other stouts of Ireland. Brilliant. (#3673, 9/16/2009)

Sep 15, 2009 Bottle. Quite different from the regular draught Guinness. Pours slightly darker than the original with only a hint of the deep ruby colour, tending more towards straight black, and with a decent brown head that dissipates fairly quickly. Nose has a juicier quality with liquorice and caramelised sugar standing out from the usual roasted malt. Flavour is very much in the same vein with the alcohol more noticeable which is not so surprising considering it’s almost double the strength of the original. Very good stuff in its own right, actually much better than most bottled Guinness.

Sep 13, 2009 Belize version courtesy of Mike D. Black body with tan head and a strong roasted aroma. A sweet lactic flavor with a strong roasted malt character and a bitter finish that lingers for minutes. Fantastic!

Aug 24, 2009 Had a nice aroma, not too strong. Had a nicer appearence than most bottle stouts too as it had a decent head. Tasted pretty good with a nice roasted, bitter finish. Stronger than regular Guinness but you wouldn’t really notice. An excellent bottled stout.

Aug 14, 2009 Roasted malt aroma. Black with off-white large head. Flavour opens sweetish, but turns quite bitter with caramel notes, a hint of vinegar. Medium bodied. Finishes vinegar. Warm sweetish alcohol and caramel aftertaste. I think I prefer ordinary Guinness to this.

Aug 8, 2009 Bottle at Cockney Pub, Århus
Black color; big head. Ordinary roasted malt aroma, mild; I give it a political 6. Good body structure, roasted malt flavor, maybe too much in the end, but overall quite balanced. Anyway, not impressive.
