Bottle from the Guinness factory in Dublin August 2004.
Like its counterpart Guinness Original this is a carbonated stout very different ffrom the draught version.
Its alot stronger and you can taste it, it almost warms you when you drink it. Taste ofs burnt coffee with a very slight burnt chocolate flavoury sweetness.

Nov 21, 2008 Bottle, Courtesy of Slothez. Had forgotten about this which is quite widely available and far superior to bog standard Guinness.
Black pour with a fair light brown head. Soft roasted malts mix with chocolate and light coffee notes. Smooth and creamy with a well rounded body and some bitterness in the finish. Not as good as the Belgian version but still pretty tasty.

Oct 23, 2008 Bottle in St. Croix. Poured a dark black with a two finger brown head. Aroma of liquorice and roasted malt. Flavor was sweet and nutty. Good but not great.

Oct 21, 2008 This was refreshing after a previous sub par stout I had. A complex blackcurrant and liquorice aroma blends with those lovely burnt roast aromas. follows through into an oily mouth feel thats full of flavour and enough hops to round it out. cracking stuff.
