By far the coolest thing about Guinness is the way it cascades down the glass. Pretty good stuff.

Old Badass Reliable. Dark body, head that stays with you. The only failsafe for real drinkers when they can’t decide what to get. Whether you’re out and about on a Friday night or at the pub watching footie early in the morning, you can’t miss with this one. For Strength.

Can’t beat a good guinness. The creamyness on top is always a delight, then the bitter full flavour of the pint itself is excellent. Apparent health benefits add to the point of Guinness

enjoyed on tap at the Naked Fish in Boston area. Unbelievable tight head that lasted all night. Smooth flavor - nothing overly strong - smokey taste, milky pallette.

Tap. Had a pint of this, smell was like coffee. Taste was very smokey, mixed with a nice hint of coffee.
