May 10, 2004 Updated: Nov 19, 20057 year old can (bought in London, England in ’98 when I lived there, and discovered in my Father-In Law’s fridge this past summer) shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, and GregClow. This was the novelty beer of the night - how would this small can hold up after so long? The answer: surprisingly good! Dark black with lots more red than you see pout of our draught version. Thick brown head (who needs nitro, this looks great!). Strong roasted aroma - nice! Decent roasted coffee taste. Lots of burnt note. Extremely dry. Still a tad mild and watery, but this showed no sign of age which is remarkable - shows you where Guinness came from and what it has become.

Apr 23, 2004 Bottle (duh) from the Green Room, Birmingham. Very tasty Stout. Light and pretty crispy. Burnt oats in the finish, but foregrounded nicely by some fruit and a very sparkly malt gig. Obviously much more liquidy than the nitro version, with a smaller, but browner head. Better than the aforementioned druaght version, with additional refreshment value.

Apr 16, 2004 looks less impressive... but who cares, the hoppy, caramel and more intense flavor and thicker texture beats Guinness draught anyday

Mar 23, 2004 Bottled. Black stout colour with a beige head. Deeper in colour then your average cask stout but more like a regularly cask stout in its flavour and text then any draught Guinness would be. Not as silky as your normal Guinness but dry and flavoursome to be sure.

Mar 7, 2004 (4.9%, brewed in NZ) Black with a hint of red and a light brown, creamy, rocky head. Roasted malt aroma, with floral hop notes. The body is slightly sweet, and a bit salty, but lacks the watery texture of Guinness Original.
