Guinness The 1798 is the second offering of the Guinness Signature Series which offers a range of limited edition luxury beers. Utilizing the artistry of Guinness Master Brewers, this series features beers made from rare and highly sought after ingredients. The Guinness Signature Series(TM) gives beer drinkers more options for different occasions, from fine dining to exquisite gifting.

This Signature 1798 Double Extra Stout is a tribute to the original Old Vat House built in 1798. The brew is deep, rich, complex and extremely rare. It uses 100% malt, some crystal malt for the distinct caramel and chocolate smoothness on the palate, plus the world famous Guinness home roasted barley for the classic taste. This luxuriant brew is then finished over the original English oak wood of Old Vat House 1 from 1798, to bring out a unique subtle wood character steeped in history.

Bottle shared, pours like FES and smells like the normal extra stout with a little more caramel and tobacco on the nose. Taste is thin chocolate and butterscotch, some booziness. Unpleasant thick sweet aftertaste

At a tasting, many thanks, big bubbly head, opaque very dark brown color, aroma of cocoa and vanila with some dark bread behind, flavor of dark bread and metal with some cocoa. Nice but quite disapointing, nothing more then a novelty.
