Many old timers in ireland drink this regularly rather than draught guinness as they acquired the taste for it before the invention of beer taps. They love it, but not I.

Easy to drink due to the low alcohol percentage. mephisto (1144), Taiwan

Pitch black with a pretty brownish head, albeit no nitrogen in this bottled version. Very dry, almost ashy with a lasting bitterness all the way through. The mother of dry stouts....Mine was 5% ABV. 101200 bierkoning (6097), La Tropica, Netherlands
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 25, 2005 Frothy head, black and opague, as usual. Roasted malt and licorice aroma. Bitter, roasted flavor, thin and a bit sharp. Evene the slightest hint of tartness, probably due to the use of roasted barley. Good, but I tend to prefer the draught version.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 1, 2005 This is the first Guinness I have had since one off tap in Ireland many years ago. Back then I recall it being flat and overly creamy in texture as a result of which it has taken this long to try another when there are so many better stouts around. The one I drank on this occasion is actually bottled by CUB in Australia. It had the usual appearance of most stouts and an aroma of roasted malts with hints of caramel. On the palate it showed greater carbonation and none of the sickly creaminess of its Irish counterpart. It is flavoursome but lacks sufficient sweetness to balance the slightly harsh “burnt” tastes and sourness. Pretty good overall though and I will be happy to have another sooner than last time.

It is kindda soft, but with the flavor of Guinness. Garrat (1132), Suffolk, England
