Guinness Draught

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

Draught. Very black in color with a beautiful creamy head. Quite strong roasted aroma. The flavor is coffee and roasted malt with notes of smoke. Full bodied and dry mouthfeel. Not the best stout but still fairly good. Tastes much better on tap.

Bottle and on draft. Description will follow with new and fresh try of this one.

Extremely tame stout. Awesome appearance. The best cascading head out there. It does taste pretty watered down for a stout. At 4.1% ABV it is a pretty tame stout. If your at the bar most likely this is the only beer that a true beer drinker could half way drink/appreciate.

I do love a glass of Guinness. It’s best out of a tap. I find the next best thing is buying it in the cans and pouring it into a glass. Bottles just don’t do it for me at all. It’s a little too watery out of can/bottle form. I’ve never seen a better head on any beer though. And who doesn’t love the way it looks when it’s poured? One of my top 5 favorite Tap beers to buy at a bar, for sure.

Not to bad still not one of my favorite stout beers, pours a solid dark with a tan head. smokey aroma.

Beyond what beer is, it is the best example of expert beer craft. Despite what the poster 2 down from me said about taking an " average stout. Mix it 50/50 with water.".... bilge and tripe... Guinness is the ORIGINAL STOUT! Before this there wasn’t one! The best brew on the planet. It’s heaven slowly captured and condensed into a smooth black nectar that smells of peat smoke and ocean breeze. Thirst quenching to the last. Tastes better with eggs at breakfast than it does with steak at supper. Smooth, creamy head compliments the dynamic bitter character that gets the palate excited. The tingle of the Nitrogen charge brings the mellow, toasted finish to a close. Much nicer than the CO2 extra stout. I give this a 5!

If you haven’t already tried Guinness, then I’m not sure what you’re doing on this site. It’s like...America’s most common drinkable gas station beer.

Take an average stout. Mix it 50/50 with water. Dump a full ash tray into it. Mix. Let stand overnight to kill whatever carbonation it has. Now you have a Guinness Draught. Seriously, this is horrible stuff.
