3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Very dark brown body with nice tan coloured, pillowy head. Cereal, cheese, roasy yet not very expressive. Certainly different from the normal tap Guinness. Sweet caramel malts, not at al what I expected, but quite nice actually. Bitter aftertaste. Did not expect this... It’s a Belgian ale! (33cl bottle from Bierparadijs)
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Semi-limpido color caffè con un velo di schiuma beige non molto persistente. Malto tostato, caffè e cioccolato amaro dominano aroma e gusto, al naso fanno capolino note più dolciastre di caramello e frutta passita mentre al palato il lato "caffettoso" lascia spazio ad un finale luppolato e amarognolo piacevolmente persistente. Corpo medio, discretamente strutturata e piacevolmente effervescente; una muscolosa e più saporita versione della celebre stout irlandese.

More like the old guinness. The normal one (Draught edition) is a weaker version of the classic i remember. This one is more thick and oily with more flavor, like it should be imo :)

33CL bottle at my student home, very dark almost black beer with a brown head. Aroma has Liquorice (confectionery) in it, taste has a bit of sweetness in it. very good beer, cant remember what Guinness tasted like so I can’t compare.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nectar noir !
Une bien belle stout, que ce soit dans le verre ou dans la bouche. D’un noir intense avec toujours une pellicule de mousse protegeant le nectar. Les aromes sont essentiellement sur le cafe. Un leger retour sur le cacao. Une longueur moyenne mais l’equilibre et la rondeur sont bien construit.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Room temp bottle. Jet black with a cm of foamy head which lasts about a minute. Smells sharp, yeasty - not very inviting. Flavour starts malty, finishes smokey with a bit of yeast. Mid body and foamy in the mouth. Usual coffee/chocolate/roasted barley flavours are absent. It’s an average stout.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep black colour with a dark brown, thick head, long lasting. Smells roasted malts, coffee and burnt bread. Taste too, but is a strange bitter/sweet together. Round finish, less dry than usual Guinness. A background taste of smoked a nd burnt, coffee bottom also. Full bodied, and low/medium carbonation. Alcohol completely hidden. A nice beer, interesting, but a smoker would like it better than me :) anyhow, a good beer.
