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.

Die Optik ist einmalig! Tiefschwarz mit cremig-feiner Perlage, die von unten nach oben langsam nachlässt. Die bräunliche Schaumkrone zeigt sich cremig, wahnsinnig stabil und unglaublich langlebig. Schöne, weiche und zarte Duftaromatik von dunkler Schokolade, Kaffee und feiner Hefe. Der Antrunk kommt frisch, sanftrezent und röstig. Am Gaumen zeigt sich eine sehr volle und kräftige, zartherbe Röstaromatik, die ein wenig an dunkle Schokolade, aber viel mehr als starken Kaffee erinnert. Der trocken-herbe Hopfen und eine angemessene Säure ergänzen das perfekt. Auch wenn es klischeehaft scheint, aber ein Guinness Draught ist einfach der Inbegriff eines irischen Stouts. Dieses Bier hat einfach keinen Fehler, keinen Makel und es kommt mit läppischen 4,2 % Alkohol aus. Sowas muss mal wer nachmachen. Ein weiches angenehmes Mundgefühl und eine ausgezeichnete Süffigkeit sprechen für sich. Im Nachtrunk wirkt es anfangs zwar etwas dünn und säuerlich, aber die röstigen Kaffeenoten bereiten einen sehr langlebigen Ausklang. Letztendlich bleiben deutlich herbe, kaffeeartige Noten auf dem Gaumen, sowie an der Kehle.

We visited Dublin for the first time today, had to make the pilgrimage to the Temple Bar for a pint of Guinness. It turned out to be a great experience and the beer was very good too. A nitro-charged pint of stout, the appearance was superb. I saw a dark brown-black liquid at the bottom transitioning to a milky brown body closer to the top with a creamy, never decreasing head of parchment brown foam. I took a pleasant drink of malt and chocolate and grain. But the sensation was really nice, a memorable, creamy texture that was still present on subsequent sips. A fine event in all ways.

Strangely enough never rated before despite a lot of occasions. A long time favourite since my first trip to Ireland in the early 90's. Tried in over 30 countries and I agree to some extent with one Irishman working in Hongkong: It doesn't travel well. Best in Dublin. Still, this one at an Irish pub in Nice, Snug and Cellar, was up to expectation.
