Bottled. A chestnut-brown beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and hints of burnt malt. The flavor is sweet and very roasted with strong notes of roasted malt as well as medium notes of chocolate, prunes, and bread, leading to a dry roasted finish. Thanks KimJohansen for sharing.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a deep redish glare and a tan head. Aroma is roasted malty, light breadish. Roasted breadish and vague metallic flavoured. Dry breadish and dark malty flavoured into the finish, simple malty and with a good level of bitterness.

Almost white. Light brown body. Cookiesh, almost biscuity note and some light black malts on the nose. More directly roasty, bitter and nutty than regular Guinness and with rich cocoa. Nice - closer to the beer I knew when I first had Guinness.
