There is nothing like a good bitter... and in my opinion this is the epitome of bitter. the slight caramel is a nice top to both the aroma and the taste. This bitter is second only to the stout.

I honestly love this beer. I wish we had it in the states. It’s been a while since I have been to Ireland. But I hope it is easy to find when I go in May.

Drinking it as I’m typing! A good, easy to drink beer. A simple, fairly sweet taste with no nasty after-taste. A good 1st stab at ale by Guinness. Too easy to do 12 cans though.

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.

The most bizarre combination of words "Guinness" and "Bitter". Widget "menthol" can. Not bad at all, though everytime I take it quality and taste differ. Deep amber colour, high (of course) creamy head. Fruity and hoppy notes. Dry metallic aftertaste.

I used to love drinking this in England. Very creamy brew, reddish in color and pours nice. Alas, I haven’t had this since coming to the States. To enhance the flavor, drink while eating chocolate (Cadburys recommended, Hersheys would kill it), I find the two compliment each other.
