Jun 21, 2009 Bottle: Pours a mostly opaque black with a thin, airy tan head. Aroma of dry roasty dark malts and a touch a dark chocolate. Starts lightly smoky and dry with the trademark lightly tart roasty finish guinness is famous for. This has more body than the regular Draught version, which is nice. Overall a pretty decent dry stout.

Jun 19, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown to near black pour with a moderate tan head. Nose is roasted malt, ashtray, burnt wood and light chocolate. Taste is roasted malt, semi-sweet chocolate, light coffee, and more smoldering/burnt wood. Body is medium but leaning towards light-medium. Carbonation us bubbly. There’s a light lingering bitterness and smokiness to it. Ends with more roasted malt, ashes, cocoa, light chocolate, watered-down coffee, and smokiness. Not too terrible but not really knocking my socks off either. Again, I think you go bigger for an anniversary beer, especially 250th.

Jun 18, 2009 Bottle via HAgen. Pours a near black with ruby highlights and a large compact beige head. Nose is roasted malt with a tinge of vanilla. Tastes like it smells.. roast, a little coffee on top of some nuts. Dry finish, bitter aftertaste. Pretty much what i expected. Not bad at all.

Jun 18, 2009 Draft. Black in the glass with a creamy tan head that was lasting and left good lace. Musty malt aroma. The flavor found roasted malts and nut. Medium body and a creamy texture. Like a lighter version of the regular Guinness Drought.

Jun 18, 2009 Very dark brown with a light brown head. Toasted aroma of chocolate and nuts. Watery but carbonated mouthfeel. Pretty good, easy to drink, but I expected a bit more for a Guinness’ 250th aniversary.
