Jun 16, 2008 I’m not a very big fan of the original Guinness, but I really liked this one. Much thicker, creamier palate than standard Guinness draft. Tastes fuller as well. Again, there are better stouts out there, but this one was pretty damn good.

Jun 13, 2008 A one-finger head topped a pitch-black body that smelled of molasses, cocoa and a somewhat unpleasant sour yeasty aroma. Solid molasses and roasted malt flavour that yields to a grainy dry finish. It sounds curmudgeonly, but I remember this beer being better even a few years ago.

Jun 3, 2008 Updated: Jun 28, 2008Am I the only one who finds the aroma of this beer offensive? It tastes good enough though. If I had my choice, I would go for the regular Guinness. Its a good beer.

Jun 1, 2008 Updated: Jun 2, 2008Bottle from Matt7215. Pours a black color, small head. Not much aroma but some roasted malt. Taste is roasted malt, with a thin texture overall a solid beer that reminded me of my days in England drinking guinness..... A gateway beer for young stouties!

May 31, 2008 Updated: Jun 11, 2008Pours black with brown creamy head. Wonderful, roasty aroma of coffee. Chocolate and coffee in the taste. Medium-bodied, slightly creamy mouth feel. Very mild carbonation. Finishes with a strong bitter bite. Basically, the more you drink it, the more you’ll love it. A godly beer, one of the best macros around.

May 30, 2008 Pours a opaque ebony. The head was more cream colored unlike guinness draught’s white head. The smell is espresso like with a strong malty aroma. The taste is slightly chocolatly with a vanilla/french roast bite. The finish was dry and harsh with a bitter hop aftertaste. Carbonation was a bit heavy.All in alltruely a fine mass produced stout.

May 29, 2008 A strong, very dark, full bodied beer with the classic Guinness cream colored, frothy head. A nice note of coffee flavor, and it has a noticeable bitterness to it.
