| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Nov 8, 2006 I bought this drink a few months ago, and I was blown away at the difference of both taste and aroma compared to both original bitter and stout. It has a liquorice like taste to it compared to the traditional burnt taste of the others, and when taking your first mouth-full, tastes as if it has been spiked with a spirit lol. Loved it the first time I bought it, love it still, I buy this as often as I can at my local Tesco. DocKozzak99 (143), Tampa, Florida, USA

And the color of is darker than black. Yes, darker. We have the coffee-brown head, just as rich as ever. Taste is powerful: coffee, chocolate, soil. It’s really good. pollocknicity2 (4), Pennsylvania, USA does not count | 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Aug 7, 2009 Bottle, but nothing beats a Guinness on tap when you can find it. This is one of my absolutely favourite beers. It’s got such a pleasing aroma, and it finishes wonderfully. It pairs well with everything from pizza to a filet mignon. And I will never get tired of watching the bubbles fall! axelmonster (1), Dublin, Ireland does not count | 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Nov 27, 2006 Aroma: Very rich, bread, chocolate, coffee, roasty.
Apperance: Pitch black with a tan head.
Flavor: Medium to heavy bitter, small hint our sourness, a little sweet. Excellent.
Palate: Pretty smooth, not as silky as other guinness brews, very lively carbonation and a long, bitter finish
Overall: One of the best beers I’ve tasted, definately a favourite. I recommend trying it with a bit of dark guinness chocolate (available at the storehouse or at the online shop). thisone326 (9), Wexford, Pennsylvania, USA does not count | 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Feb 28, 2007 Flavor is stronger than that of the draught...head not as cool looking..not as creamy and such. Dark look, well-rounded palate. tiny bit of bitterness, but nothing too bad redgold07 (308), Irving, Texas, USA

Aroma is of coffee and roasted malt. Taste is delicious... with flavors from caramel, to roasted coffee, to coffee and oaken flavor as well.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Sep 25, 2005 Thick, rich, chocolate and cake-like yeast in the aroma. Opaque black body with generous, dense and lasting, fine bubbled, tan-brown head that lasts and coats the glass. Chocolate cake up front fades to a charred roastiness. Full body with a thick, rich texture. Bottle (GBBF).
