Guinness Draught

Brewed by St. James’s Gate (Diageo)
Style: Dry Stout
Dublin, Ireland

I think there’s nothing quite as lovely as the cascading, dark brown head on a freshly poured pint of Guinness. The flavor only enhances the experience - rich, deep flavors, somewhat bitter, somewhat sweet, and it simply coats your mouth. God Bless Arthur Guinness!

yummmmmmmmmmmmm. Guinness is a great beer. My favorite beer to go with a meal . Very Creamy, some smokey/chocolatey taste going on as well. Gotta love this beer bottom line

11.2 fl oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Pours almost black with about one finger tan head. Nose is very subtle, sort of a grainy malt scent. Very roasty flavor with some bitterness. Short bitter finish.

pint of extra cold draught Guinness. Aroma was negligble. very nice appearance with lacing lingering on the glass and cream head. coffee flavours and distinctive bitterness. Decent draught stout.

Far to watery for my taste. Although there are some stout flavors..coffee, roasted malt, hops etc, the thin mouthfeel got in the way of any flavor.

The beer looks very dark, (like dark coffee) and has, surprisignly for English and Irish beers, a creamy lightyellow - white head that lasts. The smell is negligible: I smell some yeast and some coffee, but it isn’t strong at all, a bit disappointing though. The taste however is very good: it starts with a creamy coffee-like earthy taste, with a light coffee and light bitter aftertaste. Although I don’t like coffee at all, I like this beer! A pity the aroma helps the score down.

This was my favorite beer for years. I then started sampling Micros. After that, I struggle give this beer more than a mediocre rating. The smell is the best part ... earth and a coffee bitter. This is a great session beer, if going to a bar and this was the best choice, go for it. I still feel guilty after the blasphemy I’ve given that I call a rating. Guinness is what turned me on to dark beers.

Has a nice subtle dark chocolate taste, goes down smooth, looks great, and is definently worth a try.
