Aug 5, 2009 Why?
Why make this beer? It’s so similar to the Guinness you can get every damn day but without the cascading from the nitrogen.
I’ve had a lot of Guinness and I enjoy it but this beer is pointless.

Aug 4, 2009 12oz bottle into a pint glass. A borderline light and refreshing stout - never thought I’d say that... Not bad, but I’m a bit disappointed for their 250th anniversary... why not something crazy like an impy stout or something?

Aug 2, 2009 Bottle. Pours pitch black in color with a smallish, lively cocoa brown head. The aroma is roasted coffee with a touch of sweetened cocoa. Upon tasting, there isn’t much different from Guinness Extra Stout, aside from this version being a touch sweeter. That aside, happy birthday Guinness.

Aug 2, 2009 roasty, bit thin, not as watery as regular guinness. not bad, but not anything to really write home about. certainly better than the original, though.
