Oct 10, 2006 Updated: Feb 28, 2009They claim it’s hoppier and crisper than regular Guinness, but the only discernible difference is a slightly increased sweetness. I had it on tap in many pubs in Dublin.

Jun 27, 2006 I’ve always been more of a Murphy’s Stout fan than Guinness due to the Murphy’s being a little bit on the sweet side. This Toucan Brew reminds me more of the sweeter flavor of the Murphy’s than a regular draught Guinness Stout.

Sep 21, 2006 Mild, herbal, light hop nose. Clear brown body with ruby highlights topped by a dense, fine bubbled, meringuelike, off white head that coats the glass and stands tall. Caramel malts, some chocolate and fair finishing bitterness. Much sweeter than the regular Guinness Draught but still has a very dry finish. Medium body with lively effervescence. Sampled on (nitro) tap at the Ha’penny Bridge Inn in Dublin (May-06).

Jul 29, 2006 Draught.
Normal Guinness outlook: perfect pint. Mild aroma. This is like Guinness Draught but has less roasted malts and less hops. Smooth, good body. Sweeter than GD - something between dry and sweet stout. I had earlier today a pint of Guinness Draught at St John’s Gate as comparision.

Nov 23, 2006 Draught in Dublin. Looks just like the classic Guinness. I could not detect any increase in hop aroma or bitterness. Didn’t taste quite as rich as the classic Guinness.

Dec 7, 2006 I treid this beer in Ireland. I of course gave it a five for appearance, because there is nothing prettier than a poured Guinness!

Jul 24, 2006 21/05/06. Tried this side by side with a real Guinness, both fresh, at the Gravity bar, Dublin and my main thought what is the point? Maybe marketing had too much say in this. Grains a little more prominent but why the effort if it is not going to be too different.
