330mL bottle from Regional. Pours pitch black, with a brown bubbly head that fades to a thin layer. Beautiful aromas of chocolate malt, dark fruits and smooth vanilla. Some alcohol, but very complex aromas. Intense flavours, pushed through with the 8% abv. Very roasted as you’d expect, coffee like roast malts which fade to more of a chocolate in the finish. Silky smooth texture and full flavour make this an outstanding stout, the finish lasts for yonks and is very warming. Yuuuuuum, my goodness, my Guinness!

Amber-dark brown. Fruity-molassesy aroma. Chewy taste with dark, dense fruitcake. Pruney, with lots of depth. Finishes a little bit watery for its size, but it’s one of the better Guinnesses out there.

Bottle shared by ?Daknole. Opaque dark brown, small tan head. Aroma is stewed sugary dark fruits, and I detect a slight tartness too. Soft creamy mouthfeel. Lots of molasses, pumpernickel, and dates. Nice!

Bottle. Nice head with excellent duration. Color is close to black. Aroma and taste are roast malt, chocolate, fruits, spices and candy.

0,33 liter fles. Heerlijke guinness. Zoals ik me hem herinner. Heel veel smaak en dan aan het eind erg veel bitter.

330ml bottle (Gallows Bird, Espoo)
Black, beige head. Sweet bubblegummy aroma. A touch malty, some toffee. Pleasant burntness, and quite good biting hops - with full green buds in the finish. Covers 8% very well. Well balanced, but a little sweet.
