Guinness Extra Stout (North America)

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

Bottle. Pours black with nice big tan head. Aroma is very faint but comes through a little malty and roasty. Flavor equally light but has a more pronounced maltiness and roastiness. Lightly bitter overall with a dry finish. I suppose one could drink many of these with no ill effects.

This beer pours a nice thick chocolate color head which happens to be very creamy. It has a dark color to it and a smell of cream. As you drink it the beer is very smooth and creamy. It leaves a nice sweet flavor in your mouth.

Bottle from neighbors crappy collection. They know I like dark beers so I guess they thought they were doing me a favor. I will keep it simple. It’s ok. Thick body a mild roast coffee flavor. Not one of my favorite stouts(see Three Floyds, Bells, Ale Smith or Goose Island)

a good go to stout that is recognized all over the world, pours thick with a creamy head and beautiful lacing but there are far superior stout out there.

Pours a dark coffee brown from bottle, making an impressive, lingering head even without nitro widget. Nose is simple: roasted coffee with the tiniest hint of sourness. Smooth mouthfeel with sharp but not unpleasing sourness on tongue. Big roasty flavor dominates clean finish (sourness still lurking in the background). Seems to have a tad more alcohol character than the 5% rating indicates. I prefer this to all other versions of Guinness in bottles or cans I have tried in USA, although hand-pulled is still the way to go.

classic guinness extra stout. poured deep dark brown, almost black. nice head but faded quickly. i prefer this over the regular guineess. the flavor seems to me a little more complex.

For creamy stouts, this is the only one. Like chocolate milk. But you can only get it in can or on draft. Nothing is worse than Guinness in a bottle. What a shame to pop open that bottle and see nothing but flat beer.

Nez de grains de malt assez rôtis, moyen de chocolat noir, léger de houblon herbeux, de café noir et de pain grillé avec des petites notes fruitées (notes de cerises). Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture crémeuse. Très léger goût fruité aux petites notes sûres (cerises) ainsi que des notes métalliques lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi très rapidement d’un goût moyennement amer de malt très rôti, de pain grillé-brûlé et léger de chocolat noir puis en finale l’on retrouve un léger goût de houblon herbeux asséchant ainsi que des notes de café noir. Post-goût long et assez sec, moyennement amer de rôti, léger de houblon herbeux et de chocolat noir, léger de café et avec des petites notes de métal.
