Commercial Description:
Labatt's brew a pale ale base to which is added the unfermented but hopped Guinness wort extract. Guinness Extra Stout is brewed in Canada by Labatt under license from Arthur Guinness Son & Company. Editor's Note: It looks like Moosehead is also brewing Guinness. Bottles in the US are from there of late, but Canadian bottles are still showing Labatt. 04/23/06

Bottle poured into pint glass. Moosehead production line. Simply resembles the other products but a little less liveliness compared to the nitro taps. Still a solid, classic stout.

12oz - For years I never knew there was a difference between this and Draught. Roasted chocolate head, deeper flavor than the nitro. I’ll stick with other stouts over this, but it is a good, solid, ubiquitous beer.

It’s as if it’s alive sometimes. I love Guinness it’s a favorite of mine. Dark beer, tan head, and constant movement.

Good beer one of the best readily available beers in East Texas. I don’t jerk off to it as do some of my Irish buddies but will never turn one down.

Pours black with a thick, foamy tan head. Aroma is light and woody, not very strong. Mouth-feel is very much like that of Guinness draught. Thick and smooth. Taste is bittersweet with hints of coffee and deep roasted malts.

Pours a blackish brown with a thick, light brown head. Mildly skunky aroma. Medium texture. Good amount of carbonation. Tastes like Newcastle Brown Ale with a more coffee and caramel finish.

22 oz. bottle pours dark brown, certainly not black, but mostly opaque. Head is abundant and attractive with a slight deepening in hue where beer was poured. Head lasts and lasts. Aroma is chocolate, burnt candy and coffee, mild. Flavor is much the same, but not very sweet. Bitterness comes out and shines, with a deep, dark, satisfying taste I was surprised to find in a north american guinness. Palate was pretty blah, the only real disappointment here, watery and unrefined. I’ve heard ’guinness is the beer you eat with a fork’ yeah...right, so I better get a steak knife for my expedition then!
