Feb 15, 2009 0,33 liter fles. Heerlijke guinness. Zoals ik me hem herinner. Heel veel smaak en dan aan het eind erg veel bitter.

Jan 31, 2009 330ml bottle (Gallows Bird, Espoo)
Black, beige head. Sweet bubblegummy aroma. A touch malty, some toffee. Pleasant burntness, and quite good biting hops - with full green buds in the finish. Covers 8% very well. Well balanced, but a little sweet.

Jan 26, 2009 Bonus from polomagnifico! Nervous at first since i really didn’t care for the normal Guinness, but this is better by a lot shot i think. Nice carbonation with a good level of head that quickly dies off. Dark, but not a black pour. A slight bitter bite thats evened out nicely with a good amount of roasted malt. I wish this was the normal Guinness, i’d drink more of it.

Jan 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a greyish/light brown head. Nice lacing. Sweet, roasted, slightly spicy aroma. And not tart, as a lot of porters and stouts tend to be – nice! Flavour is roasted with spicy/liquorice/winegum (!) notes blended with a metallic touch. Feels very candy-like, but in a good, balanced way. Mildly bitter finish with liquorice notes. Not a very complex beer, but quite nice and very drinkable. 17-01-09.

Jan 1, 2009 Bottle at home. Drank it quite warm. A sweeter version of one of my favorite all-timers. It’s dark chocolate color, not as black, and more sugary. Some of the wheat/bread flavor is less pronounced. Lovely bitter finish. Highly drinkable and most enjoyable. Only criticism would be that it’s perhaps too smooth, too easy.
