huge creamy/foamy white head with pitch black color. flavor predominates with roasted and chocolate malt with a very dry finish. much more flavorful than draught guinness. a very good beer. the mouthfeel is not very thick, the only negative i can conjure

Bottle from Delhaize. Jet black with a decent tan head. Big roasted aroma with a slightly sweet edge. Sweetish, almost fudge-like flavour to start, quickly replaced by dark fruit some burnt malt and a surprisingly smooth finish. Excellent.

Bottle, from Noel Cuveliers, Abele. Tons of airy tan head on an iron black pour. Nose is grilled steak, a steak rubbed with black pepper and coffee. Some popcorn, raisins. Soft roast, buttered rum, salty finish. Fairly light body but with an interesting oily touch. Pretty nice FES.

Thanks to auredale for this one. Very dark brown pour, one finger off white head, Chocolatey, roastiness, bitterness. Nice drinking brew

Thanks to ygtbsm94 for giving me the chance to try this. Smell was slightly fruity with some roast. Taste was roasty, nice bitterness throughout, some ripe fruit and a nice bitter finish. This stuff is solid. Wish this replaced the regular guinness.

Bottle. Deep dark brown colour with a lingering beige head. Sweet roasted aroma with hints of chocolate, coffee and alcohol. Flavour is more of the same, full bodied and with some sweetness. Bitter finish. Really very good and the best bottled Guinness out there by a mile.

Black/brown colored brew. Sweet, malty aroma. Sweet, malty, bitter flavor. Chocolate malts.
