What is there to be said about its appearance? It is probably one of the only perfect looking beers around. Ive always thought it was much thinner than it looks. Havent had Guinness in a bit and the flavour is not quite what I remember. It just isnt as robust as Ive come to be accustomed to. One of the classics but my tastes have developed to be able to enjoy it like I used to.

16 oz. can- Pours dark black with a thick beautiful creamy head. Flavor is of roasted malt, coffee and cream. Very light and drinkable, I could drink this all night, although I do prefer my Stouts with a little more punch, but what the hell, I have some Abyss chilling that will more than satisfy that craving.

Draught at Matt Weldon’s pub, Dublin. Black with a creamy light brown head. Some coffee and roasted malt in the weak aroma. The flavour also displays characteristics of roasted malt. Little bitterness in the aftertaste. Quite drinkable.

On Tap at Gravity bar (at Guinness in Dublin) Wow, this is so much better here then in the states. There is something to be said about "fresh" beer. Dark in color with a nice white head and plenty of lace on the inside of the glass. Chocolate and Coffee flavor aroma rise out of the glass with the taste that matched the aroma. Nice finish in the back of the mouth.
