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.

Pitch black liquid. Thick head with middle-sized bubbles. Quite fast retention. Muted aroma. A little bit of paper and cigarettes’ smoke. Chocolate and coffee hints. Quite sour. Average bitterness. Delicately sweet on finish. Average carbonation with black coffee consistency, but more oily. Aromas could be more sensible and I would make it less carbonated. It’s still pretty good beer.

Bottled Guinness, intended for the English market and often regarded as the most faithful Guinness. Thick, creamy, dense, deeply beige head, deep blackish brown colour with ruby hue, only visible under bright light. More refined and complex aroma than Guinness Draught from tap, delicate, black coffee, raisins, caramel, black pepper, nutmeg, dried plums, iron, something woody. Smooth caramel malt taste quickly making place for a soft but assertive, mouth-filling roasted coffee bitterness, woody and a bit oily, some peppery hops in the finish. More than decent, exemplary for its style.
