Draught from memory. This I had with my next door neighbour Christy who was (and still is) on the Guinness pension and felt obliged to drink the company brew. Lighter than the regular, dry but sweeter. An interesting experiment

Had this on draft at my hotel in Dublin...May, 2007. This pours into the pint and is identical to the original Guinness, taste is slightly sweeter, mouthfeel a little lighter. I think there is more malt presence in this. Very good.

Now, this beer is advertised everywhere in Ireland, but nobody sells it. Not even the places that have special cups made in its honor sell this beer! Anyway, really nice and thick off white head. Dark, ruby brown color. Smells really nice, but I can’t quite pinpoint it. Not much coffee or chocolate in the taste, but there are defiantely roasted malts. Some bread in the flavour, which I find to be a bit abnormal for a stout. Not bitter or watery at all like the normal Guinness. Slightly, but only ever so slightly, sweet.

Looks like guiness tastes like guiness, rounded smooth malt with light bitter linger

Re:rate. Read my notes wrong. Has a fruitier aroma than regular Guinness but still maintains a lot of roasted malt. Quite clean and thin feeling on the pallet, not very bitter at all. Slight liquorice on the end. Good for a session.
