Guinness Extra Stout (Continental Europe)

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

330ml bottle. Light brown head, black colour. Burnt malts aroma, chocolate, coffee. More acidic than draught. Flavor is roasted malts, chocolate. A little bit bland. User friendly stout I would say.

Balcony, Lourdas. Reflective glossy tar pour like a black mirror. Tint of brown against the midday sun. A very black beer generously collared with tan. Nose sweet heady molasses, iron, blackcurrant, liquorice and sticky dried fruit, as well as the expected espresso and bitter cocoa attack. Markedly roastier and more impressively bitter than the nitrogenated, widgetised, super-chilled stuff back home. Sticks around with some serious burnt toast and black coffee bitterness long after the swallow. Fudgy creaminess, high cocoa dark choc, even an occasional waft of xmas pudding. Light and refreshing in the heat, but hinting at the presence of a darker, stronger beer. Original and Foreign Extra tipped together. Tastes like Guinness did to me when I was 14. Bitter enough to make girls and the unenlightened wince. Hats off.

A lot of things can paople say about GUinness but this one even room temperature is nice. I liked it and drank it ’till the bottom.

Bottle Pours out a very dark brown almost black topped with a tan head. Aroma of coffee and malt. tast of bitterness and coffee. A nice roast on it. A big thanks to my Brother in-law for picking this up for me.

Black coloured beer with small off-white head and lots of carbonation. Malty roasted aroma. Full palate. Finish is bitter coffee mucca like.

Bottle, Italy. Dark brown to black coloured, almost no carbonation and a small off-white head. Beer with a malty light orasted aroma. Medium to full palate. Finish is light bitter, malty roasted. Less creamy than the original guinness, less good as well.

(33 cl bottle from Systembolaget). I don’t know if this is the right place to put my rating, but the alcohol percent (5%) did fit this one instead of "Guinness Original / Extra Stout".
Aroma: Burnt toffee, slight-coffee smell. Pretty weak.
Apperance: Ah, pretty nice. Very darkbrown, almost black with a white foam.
Flavour: Some coffee, roasted malt, slight note of milk chocolate. Slightly sour/bitter in the aftertaste.
Palate: Pretty smooth, but too thin.
Overall: An okay beer which I did appreciate more than the draught. It reminds me quite much of that one though, which is a minus. Boring, but drinkable. Nothing I will buy again.
