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.

From bottle labelled Guinness Original XX on board Fridtjofen 10.09.17. Ebony. Dense and persistent beige head and lacing. Modest aroma of roasted barley, coffee and dark chocolate. Fine taste of roasted malt, dark chocolate and vanilla, balanced by hop bitterness. Very drinkable.

500ml bottle from Tesco - Deep red-tinged black body, thin beige head. Nose is roasted malts, bit of toast, bit of smoke. Taste is sharp up front, malty, few hops, lots of toasted notes. Body a bit watery. Can’t believe I can’t rated this before!

Pours dark brown from the bottle. The head is tan and foamy. A sticky lacing clings to the glass. The aroma is very subdued with hints of smoke and roasted malt. Taste is very mildly bitter with touches of dark chocolate and licorice. The flavors feel lost against a watery palate. Finish is smokey but otherwise short and uneventful. I drank a fair bit of this twenty years ago and liked it, but I guess tastes change. Now it just seems boring.

On tap. Pours a clear dark brown with a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that laces. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, coffee and caramel. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, coffee, caramel and a hint of peat with a dry, mildly bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation.
