ciaranc (369) - Dublin, IRELAND - DEC 1, 2012
500ml can. Jet black with a big ever-lasting creamy head. Roast malt nose. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Slightly thin bodied. Uncomplex in the flavour. Flat carbonation. Big more roastiness in the finish. Meh.

maekchu (1093) - Hirakata, JAPAN - NOV 22, 2012
Bottle from local Yamaya. Mild coffee nose, with some prunes and yeast. Thick dark brown, rocky tan head. Light coffee initial flavors; dark fruit (prunes, raisins) in mid palate; finish has a sting of bitterness and carbonation. Thin-medium body. Much more solid than the 4.2% draught. Better body. Flavors are marginally better. Good basic stuff.

dreadnord (1000) - San Diego, California, USA - OCT 31, 2012
Pours thick and black with a fat two Finger head and massive carbonation. Nose is dry roasted coffee and bread. Flavor is bland. Watered down. What little I can taste is very light bitter. Mouthfeel is creamy yet lacking and has a short finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Deliciosa esta versión de guinness es mi favorita, mas ligera pero supongo que por ser la irlandesa la receta es la original.

fellebag (322) - Oslo, NORWAY - AUG 31, 2012
Pours like Guinness. Dark color. Aroma of earthly coffee. Some chocolate for the taste, still coffee in there. A classic. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

seritomi (260) - HUNGARY - AUG 28, 2012
A megszokott sötétség de lazább barna hab nem az a tipikus Guinnesses krémes, világos. Illata enyhe kávé és semmi más izgalmas. Savanykás, élénk és tényleg nagyon száraz. Végén közepesen keserű egyszerű komlóval. Lehet, hogy eredeti de nem extra.

Form Typ in London. Just a creamy classic. Alawys enjoyable with that special aroma of coffee or what. Huge and very solid beer.
