May 25, 2009 It was like regular guinness, but not quite as good, smooth body, hint of roast malt.

May 25, 2009 Bottle thanks to Daknole. Almost black with scant tan head. Aroma is earthy, nutty, some coal. Different. Very drinkable and refreshing. Tastes better than it smells with nice subtle roast and nuttiness. Clean, quaffable, and refreshing. Better than expected.

May 24, 2009 Bottle, thanks Hogtown Harry!! Pours a nice black with a ton of red hues, small bubble mocha brown head. Nice roast and dare I say hop aroma. Surprising. Taste - good! Like an old Guinness without a ton of nitro and sourness - basic roast and a surprising amount of bitterness. Very flavourful This is like all the good stuff from a pint of Guinness boiled down to a nice almost porter like thin but tasty brew. Totally surprised.

May 24, 2009 I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Nice dry, roasted character to it. Aroma has a hint of sharp bitterness and some notes of coffee and roasted malt. Flavor profile is similar. Mouthfeel was much improved from other Guinness products...mildly thick and creamy. Not really worth the price considering the ABV, but definitely worth at least one try.

May 23, 2009 On draught at Two Fools - Albuquerque. Pours a tan head of fine bubbles, opaque black. Early hop bitterness and black patent malt dry, sharp character. CO2 seems to accentuate the sharpness. Very dry finish. Lacks the creamy mouthfeel of its nitro brethren.

May 23, 2009 Pours an opaque brown with large amount of bubbly offwhite manilla head. Aroma is sweet and a bit corny, more like a macro lager smell than anything. Flavor is very light and pretty watery, slightly roasted and smokey, but mostly plain. Slight bitter finish. Overall, not as good as the regular.

May 23, 2009 Bottle @ Shady McGrady’s. Pours a black color with a nice tan head. Slight malty nose, not much else. Sweet, thin body, a hint of smoke. Meh.

May 23, 2009 Deep mahogony red against the light with a big, rocky biege head that left lots of sticky lace. Thin charcol and dusty chocolate nose. Thin, easy drinking beer. Some roast grain, sweet coffee, chocolate and something fruity in the back. The astringent burnt grains come out in the finish. Nice enough stout, but for a 250th anniversary, you would expect something special.
