Guinness Draught

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

Iconic appearance, with legendary white head. Acquired taste perhaps, but the malt and yeast are perfectly balanced, with distinctive signature bitterness.

I really enjoy this beer. Excellent pour, dark brown to black in color, tan head that lasts for the whole glass. Smooth and creamy. I’m not a coffee drinker but this stout has a very nice balance of flavors.

On draught most places I go - It’s black, and I never detected a lot of aroma. What I like about Guinness is the balanced taste: some malt and some hops that blend for a nice flavor with a slightly bitter finish. It’s my session beer - Irish session - when I like to enjoy the pleasantness that beer has to offer, and still stay sharp enough to play music

On tap at Balsam cockail Lounge, Oslo. Pours beautifully. Nothing compares to its appearance. A bit short on the nose, but nice and dry with roasted malt and lingering aftertaste. A classic

This Is such a fantastic beer i suggest everyone to try it however, it is deffinetly not for everyone as i have heard from many a person that they think it tastes like canned bread. To me it tastes like gold.

A black as black can be colored beer. The head is small, it’s beige, it’s foamy and it stay’s on the beer. The aroma of roasted malts, with some coffee smell. The taste is smooth, and tin coffee, roasted malts with a little chocolat. It has a bitter aftertaste.

Served in a chilled pint glass. I’m somewhat disappointed with the Draught. It’s nowhere near as thick and creamy as Extra Stout. It pours a similar deep amber/almost black color imbued with caramel tones. There is a roasty character to this beer, but it is a little too thin and watery. Leaves a nice bitter sensation on the palate. Strong aroma and taste of coffee. At the end of the pint it left a pool of bittersweet nitrogen foam, which I enjoyed.

Guinness isn’t for everyone and I’m not a huge fan. Not terrible though, creamy mouthfeel, some bitter, cofee and malt flavour. A very personal taste.
