Guinness Extra Stout (North America)

Brewed by Labatt Breweries (InBev)
Style: Dry Stout
London, Canada

On tap: Finally rating this one. The pour and cascade are well documented...as are the flavors really. Mild and refreshing yet with "darker" flavors. This is an easy choice for me at most places without an interesting selection of beers.

Dark and robust, bitter with a thick brown head. Has a wonderful roasted flavor. A nice brew.

Almost black, thin tan head and lace. Nose of mild coffee and chocolate. Fairly smooth, kind of a thinnish body and palate. Some decent coffee flavors and bitterness, moderately dry

deep black pour, aroma of roasted malt, and a touch of coffee, and some cheap grain. Nice thick mouth feel, some roasted malt in the flavour, and more cheap grain, meh. Decent stout. I prefer the draught out of the can.

a decent stout. i’ve had it before, but couldnt remember it. Bought a 6 pack today. looks nice, aroma is quite bready. flavour is a your basic stout, nothing spectaculay, but its solid. nice bittnerness.

Pours nearly black with a tan head and smells like malts and alcohol. Tastes like malt and some slight coffee. Finishes light and dry. Not a bad brew.

Good overall, but not as good as the draught. Pours dark with a brown head that dissipates fairly quickly. The body is pretty much black. Some coffee-ish flavors with roasted malts.

(Bottle). Malt and coffee aroma. Black with brown head. Mouthfeel is pleasingly full. However, the flavor balance, at least to me, leaves something to be desired. There is roastiness and a touch of coffee and malt....but nothing seems to work together. Then, there’s a rather weird bitterish finish that jars instead of satisfies.

Opaque black pour with a tan head - nice and thick fluffy. Malty aroma with some chocolate and caramel. Nice bitter malty flavor with molasses and a creamy coffee flavor. A bit watery, but overall a good beer. A classic!
