Swirling clouds tumble as the storm begins to calm. Settle. Breathe in the moment, then break through the smooth, light head to the bittersweet reward.
Unmistakeably GUINNESS, from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop. And every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between.
Pure beauty. Pure GUINNESS.
Guinness Draught is sold in kegs, widget cans, and bottles. The ABV varies from 4.1 to 4.3%.
Guinness Extra Cold is the exact same beer only served through a super cooler at 3.5 °C

Hard pour from a widget can into a Guinness pint glass.
Beautiful looking stout, looks black initially but holding it to the light you get shades of transparent ruby red to deep brown. A finger or so of tight tan nitro head persists leaving fairly dense lacing.
Aroma of dark malts, coffee and roast, hints of dark stone fruit and cocoa.
Flavor tends to follow the aroma, slight sweet dark malts, cocoa, cold brew coffee, a bit of ashiness toward the end of the palate.
The mouth feel is exceptional, light to medium light body, very smooth with the nitro playing it's part adding to the smoothness, slight balance from the roast and bittering hops make this one very easy to drink and keeps you coming back for more.
Overall it's a classic for a reason, it's not the best but it's far from the worst, would love to be able to try this on draft from the source some day but it's still one I gladly revisit especially this time of year.

28/II/26 - 33cl can from Albert Heijn, shared @ my godson’s birthday party (Wenduine), BB: 9/VII/26, 02:45, L5251GT004 (2026-262)
Clear dark brown to black beer, creamy dense beige head, very stable, adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice, malty base, grains, cow fodder, mocha, some chocolate notes. MF: no carbon, medium to light body. Taste: good roast up front, pretty bitter, a bit metallic, malty, grains, some chocolate. Aftertaste: coffee, bitter, roasted, malty touch, a bit hoppy, metallic touch, classic. How have I never rated this? I always thought I had rated it before. ;-)
