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

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.

Old rating from 24-01-15 - Pint from the cask in Jersey, first time since enjoyed a number of times in Dublin years ago. Pours jet black with a off white creamy head. Aromas & tastes of dark chocolate, coffee, nuts, grain & roast malt. Above medium body. Slightly sweet dry finish. Enjoyable
