Roasted barley overtones with undertones of bitter malt. Beautiful appearence similar to coffee. flavor is roasted malt with subtle chocolate and coffee notes. Finishes thick, yet smooth. Overall, this is one of my favorite brews ever, if the the favorite. I always say you can tell a true beer drinker from a hard-partying college-student by whether or not they like a pint of Guinness. I am a life-long follower.

Opaque, black color...very thick head, with great lacing. Aroma has a slight touch of sourness, with strong roasted malt notes. A hint of sweetness in the front blends with a strong malt flavor throughout...extremely smooth mouthfeel. Bold roasted malt flavor dominates the back. Finish is long and dry. A true classic...though not the very best of its style, this brew is the one that the very best of its style are judged against.

Nothing like being served a fresh, cold draft of Guinness. Aroma is on the coffee side. The color is jet black with cascading bubbles that form a thick, creamy head. Goes down smooth, but almost has a flat tast to it due to the non- carbination.

Looks like most raters of this beer need to get out more Appearance is nice, but this stuff goes down faster than water. Flavor is as complex as Velcro shoes. About the only "stout" you can get in a neighborhood bar, but falls in the same category as the rest of their beers...overpriced macro-swill. I will say it does beat a pale lager.

Draft (the only way to drink it) at a pub in Boston. The appearance of ultra fine bubbles swirling into a thick rick head over a deep black Guinness is phenomenal. Great smooth milky body with cocoa and coffee flavors. Certainly the draft can and bottle versions come nowhere close to a properly poured Guinness.

The appearance of a Guinness is just awesome. It looks so delicious with the almost black colour and the creamy head. The aroma smells of coffee malt. Palate is creamy and just lovely. Flavor of coffee and a hint of dark chocolate.
