Guinness Extra Stout (North America)

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

Great rich malt aroma, a little earthy. This is how a beer should look. Good foam, could last a bit longer. No sweetness is the strength of this beer. Good coffee bite. Full and rich on the palate, but not a creamy as Draught. This is a classic, to which I compare all other bottled beers, often unfavorably.

Pours a dark black with a small tight brown head that lasts for awhile. Heavy malt aroma with hints of roasted grain. Light to medium body. Tastes of sweet malt with a heavy sting of carbonation. Fades to a delicate roasted coffe flavor with hints of toffe and licorice , a lingering astringency of roasted grain on the sides of the tounge and a little on the roof of the mouth. Overall a very good mass produced stout.

This beer brings back many memeories of college, ha. This tastes dark, dark and many of my friends have called it "liquid bread". The flavor is very acidic but not awfully bitter, but it really is bitter BE WARNED! Very drinkable if you ask me.

This is a classic stout, the one and only Guinness. Got to love this wonderful smooth flavor of a Guiness Extra Stout.

I had rated this when I first joined but somehow it disappeared! Bottle from Country Club Liquors; Says brewed and bottled by Guinness Brewing, New Brunswick, Canada; Nose of roastiness, coffee, with light notes of licorice and vanilla; Hazy black with yellow brown edges and a medium beige head; flavor has roasty coffee, hop bitterness, and a molasses note; finish is a reallly hoppy bitterness.

Courtesy of After4ever, thank you Tom! It’s dark brown with a red hue, and it’s lighter in color than the European variety. The head is huge and creamy. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, light coffee and licorice. The flavour is slightly burnt, with a nice, dry bitterness and a light sweetness and notes of licorice.

I used to hate beer. Then I tried Guinness Extra Stout. Many great beers later, I love hops, I love roasted barley malt. Many brews beat the pants off this brew, but she’s still my first love.

Pours a lovely dark black with a tan head. When consumed at the proper temperature I enjoy the roasty flavours and aroma. I can’t wait for a trip to Europe to try the real deal. A lovely velvety mouth feel with just a hint of a bitter kick at the end to keep it grounded. A nice light snack.
