I know what you are all thinking (PERFECT!)... I’m sorry but it’s my all time favorite beer. To me Guinness is perfect, what all other stouts strive to be. That wonderful malty coffee aroma, the dark brown almost black color, and that smooth taste that you almost have to smoke after... to me it’s perfect. A pint of Guinness and a glass of Jameson’s 18 year and to me life doesn’t get any better.

Oct 11, 2008 Canned, almost black coloured beer with a creamy medium brown head. Roasted bitter caramel malty aroma with a full palate. Finish is bitter, creamy roasted malty touched. Nice.

Oct 9, 2008 Bottle. As mentioned, this is not the beer it was before they began to pasteurise it. Pours dark mahogany, with a frothy and short-living head. Chocolate and roasted malt on the nose, and similar on the palate with overtones of yeast.

Oct 7, 2008 Pours black with a tan head that disapates. Tastes of malt, however not a strong taste. Extremely drinkable due to the lack of depth.

Sep 24, 2008 Bottle. Unfortunately it’s no longer available in its bottle conditioned form when it was a match for any beer. Pours very dark with beige head that lasts down the glass. Aroma is an immediate hit of burnt malts with a bit of treacle, coffee and hop thrown in. Intensely bitter on the tongue, the mix between malt and hop is near perfect. For all its carbonation it is a remarkably smooth drink. Very dry in the finish. I must try to find the Irish unpasteurised version.

Sep 13, 2008 Malt, roast, lots of water. Burnt aroma and flavor. Thin, not very interesting or enjoyable. It is what it is.
