Nov 23, 2009 Pours near black with reddish hues and a mostly receding light tan head. Notes of toasted malt, toffee, salty fruits, mild chocolate, and brown malt. Medium bodied with a slighty chalky texture and soft carbonation.

Nov 23, 2009 Deep ruby tinted brown, would pass for black at a quick glance. Pretty nitro head. Aroma was roasty malt, not much else. Flavor was lightly coffee accented malts, with a pleasant nuttiness present that set it apart from they "typical" Guinness. Not bad, and probably deserving of a better rating than my numbers here indicate. Almost forgot to rate this one! On tap at a random irish pub in Atlanta.

Nov 19, 2009 On Tap at Katie Mullen’s, Denver 24/09/2009 250 years to the day since Guinness was first brewed.
Some roast aroma. Small beige head. Black smooth on the palate and a little spicy with a hint of bitterness in a crisp and dry roast finish.

Nov 15, 2009 More hoppy than the guinness draught and more of a dark ruby pour than the original but similar flavors. Malty with not quite as much of the caramel/coffee flavors. Enjoyable

Nov 15, 2009 I really enjoy this brew! Its not as "stout" as regular Guinness, but it’s a decent stout none the less. It’s pours black with a decent foamy head that lingers. Flavor is of roasted sweet malts. Aroma is nice, this is a very drinkable brew!

Nov 9, 2009 12oz bottle pours dark brown with a red tint and medium creamy beige head that laces in patches. Sweet malts and bakers chocolate aroma. Thin medium body bitter roast malts with a lingering sugary sweetness. Finishes dusty and dry. . Bah not too good of a flavor. I’d take the extra stout version over this any day.
