Can poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark brown with a ruby hue and 2 fingers of thick off-white head. Roasty caramel dominates the aroma. Taste is light sweet. Roasty with cream. Medium bodied with a thin texture. Soft carbonation and a very long finish. Overall, not bad. Not a whole lot different from regular guinness, but still enjoyable.

Dark Mahogany Clear Brown Color, Medium Creamy Head That Last till the finish, Tons of Foamy Lacing. Creamy, Malty, Slight Bitter, A Little Sour Finish. Watery, no carbonation. A Lot like a regular Guinness Draught, aside from that sour note and off color. If you like Guinness, you’ll like this one, since they have not deviated far from original formula. OK.

Widget can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours typically widget - lots of fine foam - forming layers. Beer is a brilliant ruddy copper. Foam is varying tan/beige. Seems to have a nice roast malt and light hop aroma. Deep inhale is somewhat exhilarating. Body is med minus. Flavor is light roast malt and something like Fuggles? Really making me think of a roasty Boddingtons Pub Ale. Widget likely the reason. Rather mild, but has tasty points. Decent and quite quaffable.

14.9 oz Nitro Can: Deep brown with red tint, creamy, off-white head. Very little scent...malt and cream... Taste is mild, a little weak, light coffee, creamy...soft.. Tastes good, but very weak. Beautiful can, though...just ok... I’d have another.

Sampled from a 16 oz can this beer poured a black color with a large very creamy off beige head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweet, tangy and a touch sour with moderate maltiness and a bit of malted milk. The flavor was bitter, sour and slightly malty with a bit of malted milk underneath. Medium length sour malted milk finish. A bit thin in body. Bland.

draft: differs from Guinness Draught in that the barley used is lightly roasted, basically a more watery version of Guinness Draught, rather bland really, some caramel & malt but almost like someone actually diluted it with water, I only agree because I don’t like regular Guinness, so less flavour is not that terrible to me but this is pointless really, if you don’t like Guinness but you feel the strange obligation to drink it, you want to try this but that is just weird

Nitro keg at the Rose & Crown, Old Hill. Pours deep red brown with Guinness head. Aroma is just not there, some vary faint, watery malt. Nowt to start, some roasted malt to finish. Bland. Watery crap all round.

nitro tap at Niall’s in Stirling, Scotland - Pours ruby red with a hugely bubbly body. There’s a minimal caramel malt aroma. The flavor is of caramel malt and mild hops. It’s kind of bland. While it’s not a bad beer per se, I really don’t see the point.

Draught@Apple Tree Inn, Quorn. Brown beer with a reddish tinge and a very strong white head. The aroma is roasted, and the flavour is roasted and bitter. Overall a very nice drink.
