Guinness® The 1759 has a rich butterscotch aroma with subtle hop notes. The mellow, caramel flavors combine with a subtle hop character and fruity sweetness from the strong ester profile. Guinness® The 1759 is an ultra-premium beer brewed with both traditional beer malt and the same peated whisky malt used in the world’s finest Scotch and Irish whiskies. Inspired by a 200 year old recipe and brewed with the same Guinness yeast that has been used for more than 125 years.

Bottle provided by T.J, thanks?? Ha ha ha. Dark brown color with a ton of head. Thick full head, lasting sheets over the glass. Aroma is light malty caramel and not much else.

The flavor is creamy in texture but not much in the way of flavor. Well, it is smooth with a nice mouthfeel about the most I can say here.

dark hazy brown, nice looking pour with a 3 finger tan creamy head. Smells nice, roasty, vanilla, chestnut some other english aromas. Taste is not very good. thin, totally lacking any substance, tastes like old cigars with caramel and some brown sugar.

Nothing special. Guinness should be ashamed with the price tag.

750 c&c from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is treacle for me with some darkish fruit. Me body. Flavor has some/much dark fruit, with tobacco/leather. It’s not compex, but there is a lengthy expression of different flavors. Very tasty stuff.
