This is it, the one that started it all. Crafted to perfection for over 200 years.
Crack it open, and the first sip tastes as fresh as ever.
The unmistakeable deep-dark colour. The crisp hint of roasted barley, the fresh breeze of hops. The refreshing bite. The bittersweet reward.
Pure beauty. Pure GUINNESS.

500ml bottle. Pours black with large beige head that leaving considerable retention and lacing; promising. Aroma of toasted malts and dark fruits; not complex but inviting. It has a low to moderate body which does feel a bit watery for a stout. The carbonation is very lively at first before settling down. I think a strong carbonation works well on a thin lager as it distracts, in part, from the lack of flavour. However, there is flavour here so you don't need that overt distraction. This is where the draught version is much better with its smoothness which enhances the flavour in my view. Taste is sweet toffee, roasted notes, malts, and a lovely dark fruity note which combines with a bitterness in the finish; quite tasty. Overall very nice except for the mouthfeel.

Good thing I checked database. This is the Guinness they have in my office in Belfast. Quite roasty and more earthy than states. More herbal characters. Smooth and thin less creamy than pasteurized which I guess makes sense

Frothy head, black and opague, as usual. Roasted malt and licorice aroma. Bitter, roasted flavor, thin and a bit sharp. Evene the slightest hint of tartness, probably due to the use of roasted barley. Good, but I tend to prefer the draught version.

(Bottle) Pours black with big tan head. Nice aroma of smoke, nuts, roast malt. Light body and rather fizzy. Taste of roast malts, some dark toffee and tartness. Rather disappointing (I expected more for a Guinness brewed in Dublin), but very drinkable.
