junon (210), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA Nov 6, 2009 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. brenn79 (137), Idaho, USA Nov 6, 2009 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. Finwe (56), Grankulla, Finland Nov 4, 2009 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. fromred2green (138), , Ohio, USA Nov 3, 2009 Tap. Pours black with a light brown head. Nice lacing. Aroma of coffee and maybe a little cream. Flavor is very strong coffee and heavy cream. Very drinkable. vkrejci (23), Brno, Czech Republic Oct 30, 2009 Tap at pub. Nice black color, small light brown head with good lacing. Slightly coffee aroma. Light sweet initial and light bitter finish. Medium body, good drinkable.
bergstaden (99), Røros, Norway Oct 24, 2009 Black with a light brown head - roasted / burnt malts, hints of coffe, nice roasted taste - easy to drink, but still a good beer TheGB (40), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Oct 23, 2009 Aroma is not very strong, taste is somewhat thin and a bit sour. Finish is pleasant enough. Sledutah (19), Utah, USA Oct 22, 2009 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.
