Jul 1, 2006 Now this was good -- hadn’t ever had the foreign version, but the extra alcohol kick gives this guinness a nice nose. The taste is still smooth and the palate crisp. A very nice "imperialized" guinness.

Jun 19, 2006 Irish Version: Poured an extremely dark brown color that was almost opaque. There was a small creamy brown head and a brown oily film on the glass. It had a big roasty aroma with big notes of chocolate pudding. Also noted was some tartness, coffee, prunes and light alcohol. The aroma was thick and full. The flavor was fairly sweet and roasty. Light coffee, tart with a bitter finish. Medium body that was almost creamy.

Jun 11, 2006 (Irish version) Almost black colored, huge beige head. Fine guinness-aroma: roastiness, licorice, sweet chocolate and coffee with nice touch of fruits and mild alcohol. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is also rich with obvious alcohol, chocolate, licorice, aftertaste has medium alcohol with roastiness. Excellent aroma with slightly too strong alcohol-flavor.

Jun 7, 2006 12 oz bottle found at the guinness store at the brewery in dublin. Pours a medium to deep dark black with a deep beige head mixed with small and large bubbles and some lace. Aroma is nutty, yeasty, roast and some chocolate malts. Sweet upfront with some nice dry roasted malts in the back. THe middle is a bit too sweet with some caramel malts. Moderatley smooth but nothing special here- kind of a let-down.

Jun 1, 2006 (Bottled) Colour is opaque black, with a firm, lasting brown head, leaving lots of lacing. Roasted nose with chocolate and liquorice, somewhat bitter-sweet, with hints of raw fish and wet ashes. Taste is roasted, almost burnt, with an initial punch of alcohol and bitterness, turning into liquorice, bitter chocolate, espresso and a long, roasted bitter-sweet finish. Full-bodied and powerfull!
