To create Guinness 0.0, the St James’s Gate brewers start by brewing Guinness exactly as they always have, using the same natural ingredients; water, barley, hops and yeast; before gently removing the alcohol through a cold filtration method. The cold filtration process allows the alcohol to be filtered out without presenting thermal stress to the beer, protecting the integrity of its taste and character. The brewers then carefully blend and balance the flavours to ensure the distinctive flavour profile and taste characteristics of Guinness.
The resulting product is a stout that is unmistakably Guinness, just without the alcohol, featuring the same dark, ruby red liquid and creamy head, hints of chocolate and coffee

0,44 l can. Pours very dark brown with ruby red hue. Head is tan, but much smaller than normal Guinness Draught. It also settles almost immediately unlike alcohol version. Apart from smaller head both look almost identical. Aroma is very light, a bit of toasty malt, chocolate and coffee. Very light aroma. Taste is low sweet and low bitter. Body is watery. Flavor is similar to regular Draught, just watered down, but unfortunately is has additional unpleasant flavor tat is really hard to pin down. Finish is short, regular Draught has a bit of additional bitterness that 0 ABV doesn't. It's like a watered down version of regular Draught which doesn't pack much taste to begin with. All nice and well, but that additional unpleasant flavor puts me off. Otherwise it would be reasonably drinkable.

Neat, this is barely different from regular Guinness and easily the best NA beer I've ever had. Looks like draught Guinness with the black color and tan creamy head. Taste feels like it leans a little more chocolate than regular Guinness, probably something in the malt profile that comes through a little differently. Somewhat milder, lighter in palate, but here's where the nitro actually helps (and I hate the basic nitro concept for beer) to keep the creamy palate so its not watery.

Dark brown pour with a medium thin light beige head that diminishes quickly to a film. Sparse small patches of lace. Aroma of roast malt, chocolate and coffee. Light-bodied with a creamy texture and flavors of malt, milk chocolate and roast coffee. The finish is sweet with a short chocolatey aftertaste. Alright for what it is.

Pours black into a pint glass. Tan head with excellent retention does not recede. Roasted malt and chocolate aromas. Soft and thin with charred chocolate and bitter earth upfront turning to bitter roots and tangy citrus in the lasting finish. Quite good, but becomes sour and unpleasant as it warms.
