Its a slightly sweeter guinness. A bit of bubblegum but not too much. Its a nice break up of 4-5 guinness taps, but nothing to write home about (but enough to rate home about).

Sep 8, 2008 A beautiful beer, white air bubbles settles and developes a completely black beer with a fantastic long lasting creamy white head, suits the mustache, light notes of liquorous, coffee, chocolate and cought medicine. Low carbon. Mostly sweet, more sweet than normal Guinness, little bitter. Soft and creamy, perfect mouth feel. A little metalic aftertaste.. Need power to be really good. Ligther than normal Guinness.

Aug 22, 2008 Had this on draft at my hotel in Dublin...May, 2007. This pours into the pint and is identical to the original Guinness, taste is slightly sweeter, mouthfeel a little lighter. I think there is more malt presence in this. Very good.

Apr 5, 2008 On tap @ Bewleys Hotel and St James Gate in Dublin. Pours a nice deep black with a nice nitro brown head just like any other Guinness does. Aroma of Guinness, but with a little more sweetness. Flavor is much the same........the bitterness in Guinness has been balanced out with more malt sweetness. I like it better than original guinness for sure.

Jan 20, 2008 On tap at Temple Bar. I somehow missed entering this rating from my trip to Ireland Pours opaque black with a large tan head, much like the black stuff. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, pine and coffee. Taste is similar to the original, but may be a little smoother? Difficult to tell without a a side-by side rating.
