mostly black pour with medium lived beige head. Smell is malty and slightly sweet with a very traditional guinness smell. Taste is similar to guinness, but less creamy with c02 instead of nitro. kind of a dry roasty flavor along with a sweetness and light bitterness. Not too bad, I thought. Nicely drinkable.

Dec 9, 2009 Pours black, crema head. Smells mild, of roasted barley and quite a lot of grass. Palate is thin. Coffee, some chocolate, nuts and fruit. Mellow with a nice dry finish.

Dec 7, 2009 Not bad. Lighter than expected. Easy to drink. Still has some roasty notes to it. Bit creamier mouthfeel.

Dec 3, 2009 Opaque black with a nice foamy tan head. Smells lighter than it looks, with some grainy cereal malts that have a nice hop freshness to them. Starts off dark and malty, with some light roast. The barley takes over and things get a little sweeter, but not for long. A slightly bitter hop finish comes through, but it’s a bit too much and throws the smoothness off. There’s also a weird medicinal taste on the finish, kind of like aspirin. Not as sessionable as the regular. Medium-bodied and slick, with some fizzy carbonation. Not bad, but I don’t need to have this one for another 250 years.

Dec 2, 2009 Personally I can’t tell a difference between this and regular Guinness, and i’m not a big fan of either. thin, creamy... but pretty!

Nov 30, 2009 Very dark brown with a slight red tint; not quite black. Malty with tastes of dusty chocolate. Kind of boring, but solid and very drinkable.

Nov 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark black with a decent tan head that slowly fades. Taste is of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, some smoke and some hops. Nice bitterness in the finish. Nice malt aroma. Similar to the normal Guinness, but with more flavor, not as drinkable, and the head is not as nice.

Nov 28, 2009 (bottle) black with generous tan head. Aroma is roast malt, a hint of grassy hops. Flavor is roast malt, less coffee than draught Guinness.

Nov 28, 2009 Blind tasting via Bonster. Well Bon provided the bottle and I told my wife to get me something but not to show me the bottle. I knew it was one of six stouts in the fridge but.....you get the picture. medium plus bodies and pours a photon eating stout. Chewy choco-maltiness. some cereal in the biting nose. Finish is dry and fast. A nice stout.
