Amber coloured, creamy appearance. Sweet and mellow, but also Boddington-style flavourless and one-dimensional.

Beautiful dark amber color; yoghurt-like head. Nice aroma, malty and a bit fruity. Smooth, a bit malty, caramel, correct bitterness. Easy to drink, quite simple.

Dark golden with a nice, creamy head. The aroma is a bit neutral but has notes of caramel and hops. The flavour is smooth and mild with light notes of roasted malt, licorice and a nice bitterness, that isn’t overwhelmingly strong. A nice bitter found in Scotland 2004.

clear red-amber colour with the legendary Guinness foam, fantastic lacing, flowery and toffey nose, very smooth, thin-bodied, low carbonation, sweet with a touch of finishing bitterness, slightly dry caramelish aftertaste - correct but inoffensive

Well, it was better than i though it would be, but worse than i can put up with. Zero aroma, and i literally mean zero, i gave the aroma score an extra mark, because it wasn’t offensive. Classic creamy ’Guinness-style’ creamy head. Sweet and creamy, very short on the palate, quite thin, with some bittering hops, i reckon it would be OK, if they didn’t use the nitro-widget thingy, tasted very Guinnessy.

Tinned, widget thingy, pasteurised. Brown beer with nitrogen flush through, cream false head. Watery thin tasteless beer except for a sharp tinnt background. Pitiful.

In the tin. Golden with a dense foam taht never disappears. Aroma is creamy and slightly metallic. Flavours are watery, smooth with some metallic hops. Because of the smoothness it is possible to drink a can in one go.
