Murky jet black with a stable creamy head. Lots of coffee, lemon, toffee, burnt malt. Roasty bitterness, citric sourness, malty sweetness. Light bodied, watery silky texture, soft carbonated, dry citrusy roasty bitter sour finish. Quite nice!

538ml can at the Square Bottle (JDW), Chester. Mid-brown, hint of mahogany, some translucency with a small (for a Guinness anyway) beige/khaki head. Malty aroma, dusting of chocolate, a little coffee. Sweet taste. Too sweet, you can taste all the sugar in there that didn't get got. Still, similar enough to alcoholic Guinness. Light watery body. OK, good for 0.0%.

It’s always very difficult to rate a NA stout as I believe this is one of the most difficult style a brewer can get involved with. So, my expectations where pretty low this time. The appearance where perfect, with a nitrogen bulb this looks exactly like the original Guinness and the aroma where also more than less exactly the same. The body feels a bit thin, but then again, the original isn’t exactly like an Imperial stout either. The taste itself is the biggest difference, even if all elements as roasted malt, chocolate and coffee etc. is present the total impression is a bit less of everything – as expected actually. Then I think the beer needs to be a bit sweeter, not often I want that but as the dry part of the malt is rather similar to a regular Guinness there is something else missing and at this stage of dry it feels almost sour in a way. But anyway, not very impressive as a beer in general terms, but quite impressive as a NA version of a Guinness. Almost like a novelty beer, but might as well have this again sometimes.

I'll be damned if this doesn't almost taste like a real Guinness

Guinness 0 draught can from Busch's. Pours a deep brown with finger of beige, creamy foam that lingers. Looks like a Guinness for sure. Some nutty aromas with soy sauce and umami as it warms. Palate is very similar with soy sauce and faint chocolate notes. Smooth finish. Not bad.
