This is one of my absolutely favourite beers. It’s got such a pleasing aroma, and it finishes wonderfully. It pairs well with everything from pizza to a filet mignon. And I will never get tired of watching the bubbles fall! Madsnp (617), Odense C, Denmark

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 13, 2009 Can, best by 04/10, thanks to lithy. Pours black with brown edges and a fluffy beige head. The aroma is molasses, honey, ash, and lots of roastiness. The flavor starts off like burnt marshmallows. A pretty strong roasty and charred bitterness is in front, but a rather sweet note balances it. Molasses, toffee, and fireplace lingers in the background. The finish is intensely roasty, leaving an ashy aftertaste. Pretty good, and definitely better than I was expecting. jaghana (103), Strasbourg, France

fairly black shade of dark brown with a soft orange tinted light brown head. its shape could be described as creamy yet wispy...
smells a lot like a baltic porter... like molasses, roasted barley, prunes, scalded cream and some smoke.
the flavor is the same combined with some bitter cocoa and a slight tartness with a dry bitter finish.
it is medium bodied, fairly soft and creamy yet parching from acidity and bitterness. 7/4/7/4/15/3.7 omhper (12171), Stockholm, Sweden

Near black, rich firm head. Lemon and licorice up front. Quite dry with tart notes. Medium to full bodied with lots of licorice and lemon. Solid, but a bit syrupy. Resiny bitterness. Powerful, but a bit rough. cbeers21 (564), Miami, Florida, USA

Nice bittering punch combined with a certain dusty and coffee-like roastedness. Velvety texture. Easy to drink when it is hot, but packs a decent punch as well. I think this one may have a little bit more flavor than the regular guinness but I think the texture of the regular is a bit more rounded. That said I think this one may "score" better, and is still quite tasty.
