2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Well, taste pretty much the same as normal Guinness, but sweeter and lighter. I was dying for the real thing after this......

This by far is the best of the brewhouse series to date, pity they retired it, had a nice punchy raste and was lighter than Guinness, a good stout for after meals or long sessions

I treid this beer in Ireland. I of course gave it a five for appearance, because there is nothing prettier than a poured Guinness!
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught in Dublin. Looks just like the classic Guinness. I could not detect any increase in hop aroma or bitterness. Didn’t taste quite as rich as the classic Guinness.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Draught in Dublin. Same apperance as the ordinary Guinness, but I cannot find any increased hoppiness. It appears more thin and watery, like a Guinness ligt. Most of the elements are there, but less of the roasted malt. A little sourness in the finish, maybe that was the extra hops?
4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
UPDATED: FEB 28, 2009 They claim it’s hoppier and crisper than regular Guinness, but the only discernible difference is a slightly increased sweetness. I had it on tap in many pubs in Dublin.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Mild, herbal, light hop nose. Clear brown body with ruby highlights topped by a dense, fine bubbled, meringuelike, off white head that coats the glass and stands tall. Caramel malts, some chocolate and fair finishing bitterness. Much sweeter than the regular Guinness Draught but still has a very dry finish. Medium body with lively effervescence. Sampled on (nitro) tap at the Ha’penny Bridge Inn in Dublin (May-06).

Draught.
Normal Guinness outlook: perfect pint. Mild aroma. This is like Guinness Draught but has less roasted malts and less hops. Smooth, good body. Sweeter than GD - something between dry and sweet stout. I had earlier today a pint of Guinness Draught at St John’s Gate as comparision.

21/05/06. Tried this side by side with a real Guinness, both fresh, at the Gravity bar, Dublin and my main thought what is the point? Maybe marketing had too much say in this. Grains a little more prominent but why the effort if it is not going to be too different.
