Dark mahogany colour with a lasting light brown head. Light aroma of toast, cheap coffee and macro ale - adjuncts, quick & dirty esters (think Alexander Keith’s). Reasonably full body, slight creaminess. Light roast flavour, with hints of milk chocolate. Too much carbonation - not only detracts from the presentation but amplifies the astringent roast finish to unpleasant effect.

Big mocha head atop black body. Aroma is medium sweet, malty and roasty. Taste is malty, roasty up top, some coffee, and mildly sweet. Finishes with pleasant bitterness. The beer has nice creaminess, full body, and some chewiness. I prefer this to Guinness' regular stout.

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.

Bottle. "Guinness Traditional Extra Stout". Bought in Mendoza, Argentina, on a hot summer day in January. Straight from the cooler! Black colour. Aroma of roasted malts and chocolate, little bitter. Flavour: smooth, bit waterish compared to the normal draught version, chocolate, some hops. Watery aftertaste actually but still darn good. Though the draught one is better.

Compared to Guiness stout I found texture and appeareance to be the main differences. The stout seemed more creamy.

Bottle... Picked up six bottles of this at the local grocery store. Lived off of this stuff in college. Not the best out there, but it’s been around for a long while and there’s a damn good reason. Great, malty, roasted aroma and flavor. Very well-balanced. Not sweet for even a moment. Strong, blackstrap molasses notes. Small, creamy, off-white head with excellent lacework. Mildly carbonated and lightly creamy on the palate.
