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 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.
gave a cheers!

Ayrshire Coastal Walking Mini Break Beer#19. Due a re-rate. Not quite black, but quite crisp and smooth, good-looking, it has milky dark malts that do a job.

Deep brown color with beautiful bubbles and lasting foam when poured. Aroma is roasted malt and mild coffee grounds. Flavor matches, coffee bitterness, wood, slight sweetness underneath. Easy drinking for a stout.

Roasted coffee and malt with chocolate and a light spiciness on the nose. The creamy off white head is unmistakable, over a deep brown body. The highlight of the taste is its simple balance. Roasted coffee and malt, semi-sweet chocolate, a touch of molasses, some cream. The body is medium and relatively clean. Nice density and extension to the taste for a 4.2 abv offering

First Rating a couple of years ago:Not my favorite style of beer. It is pretty dull actually.Widespread because there’s a Irish Pub in every godforsaken place around the world.
Second rating:
On tap at the Guinness Storehouse. The best Guiness I ever tried. Coffee , cocoa, roasted malts. Perfect body.Delightful
Couldn't replicate the experience in several pubs in Dublin. The beer seemed a bit too watery and with some metallic taste.
Even in some pubs renowned for pouring the best Guiness in Dublin the beer was like that.
Outside Guinness Storehouse maybe the best Guiness was in some pub near Google headquarters and in that big red tourist trap pub in Temple Bar.

Nothing like a guinness served at the proper temperature (not too cold). It’s almost a category into itself apart from beer. Finding a good pint is easier said than done - a lot of establishments pour out a rancid spew becuase they don’t clean their taps or keep the kegs ice cold. Look for an irish-owned & run place that pays close attention to its kegs.
