Bottle sent for my review. This comes across more as a credible ancestor of the Guinness Stout that we all know today. It is a little lighter in the malt roast than the West Indies Porter in the same package. Not the same molasses on the tongue, but light on the palate with a nice dry finish. I imagine I’ve caught just a little sting of the sourness that they add to Guinness Stout today. Might be interesting to find in a cask pour than stuffed with carbonation. I suspect a real beer from that period would still be pretty smoky and a bit more sour.

13/V/16 - 50cl bottle from Albert Heijn (Gent) @ home, metal beer and music tasting - BB: 11/IX/16 (2016-526)

Note: tasted at the metal beer and music tasting, where every beer was sampled while the according music played at volume 10. :p This beer had nothing to do with the rest of the tasting, other than that we needed something at least half decent to wash away the dirty infected beer that was Kataklysm and this was laying around in my fridge.

Clear dark brown beer, small creamy beige head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: very malty, roasted, caramel, cow fodder, sweet wort. MF: ok carobn, light body. Taste: bit sourish, roasted, pretty bitter hops, grains, malty. Aftertaste: soft roast, bitter, sourish touch, some cow fodder. Well, at least it did wash away the infection in our mouth.

Zwart bier met schuim. Smaak is licht bitter met rook, chokolade en koffie. Komt wat licht en waterig over. Goede dorstlesser maar niet bijzonder. Gedronken bij de Irish Pub in Bergen op Zoom.

Bottle. Light ash and chocolate malt aroma. Dark black with large tan head. Mildly sweet chocolate fudge malt and very mild dry grass flavor. Body on the light side. Nice sessionable beer.

500 ml. bottle from Albert Heijn shared @ Gollem. I am not a fan of Guinness but as a lower ABV Guinness this beer really does the trick, good for whoever was in need of that. Better than expected but yeah it is still Guinness, this feels rather artificial with a strong sparkling water feel. Appears to pour black but the lightning wasn’t that good, little mocha head. Nose is very artificial mocha, herbal, low ashes, artificial cacao. Thin bodied & fizzy, artificial qualities, lots of sparkling water feel to it with a herbal artificial coffee taste, powdery, cacao powder. Drinks acceptable but more in the fashion that I do not mind it all that much.

Bottle from ASDA, Huddersfield. Very dark with next to no head. There’s not a great deal of character here with an extremely mild dark malt sweetness, but no real flavours, and a slight smoothness in its texture.
