Well, what can I say, it’s Guinness. For as many pints I’ve had since I joined Rate Beer I can’t believe its taken me this long to rate it. As far as appearance, to me there are few things more beautiful than a well poured Guinness. Flavor is dark roased malts. Dry finish and nice fine carbonation that only Guinness’ nitrogen tap can give you.

does not count  Aug 20, 2008 You can’t go wrong with this stout when you get it on draught. If you find a bar that will add the Shamrock to the head, you’re in business. Very slight coffee aroma but not a hint in the taste. A bitter stout with a rich creamy head.

Aug 20, 2008 The classic draught. The bigger the better. I could drink them all day long. Is it true that if you drink 2 Guinness, a cup of OJ and a cup of milk and you get all your daily vitamins? I would bet a case on it.

Aug 17, 2008 14.9 ounce can. Pours a very dark brown, almost black, with a very nice, massive, creamy, clingy, light tan head that lasts a while. Taste is of coffee, roasted malt, milk/creme and is bitter in the finish. Kind of light, thin and watery, but still tasty overall. Aroma matches the taste. Overall, this is a pretty enjoyable, fulfilling and refreshing beer that is nice to have every now and then.

Aug 17, 2008 This is always a gorgeous beer. The aroma is muted by the head, but there is a little roasted smell. It is medium (maybe medium-light) bodied and creamy. The flavor is slight and unoffensive. It’s mostly the flavor of roast. When there are only macros on tap, this is the one I go for.

Aug 17, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of come coffee and roasted malt. Flavor of, well, watery malt. Palate is, well, watery. It’s just not a very good beer.
