Every Guinness you’ve ever enjoyed can be traced back to this recipe. A direct descendant of our archival recipes, Guinness Extra Stout is based on a beer first brewed in 1821, when Arthur Guinness II set down precise instructions for brewing his Superior Porter. Sharp and crisp to the taste with the trademark Guinness flavors at its core.

500ml can. Pours an almost clear black with red hue and a small, foamy, long lasting, beige head that leaves thick, sticky, curtains of soapy lace. Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, ash and coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel, molasses and coffee in a dry, bitter finish. Light body with an oily to watery texture and soft carbonation. Solid.

It is a nice beer, for me better than the normal guiness. The taste is good, sweet, malty, bitter, some hop and alcohol, powerful, tasting directly at the brewery in Dublin, on the top, in this touristic but nice restaurant.

Bottle at home from a random Globus. Black pour with a tan head. Nose is roasted malts, earthy and dark chocolate notes, light tannins. Taste is roasty, earthy, dark chocolatey with a hint of coffee. Moderately bitter and somewhat tannic. Light bodied with a soft carbonation. Chuggable.

Bottled September 20th 2024, bought locally.
Pours black but with hues of red. Small head of foam slowly dissipates, but left with a fine layer .
Smell is of roasted malt, dark chocolate, little bit fruity, has sweet and bitter notes.
Taste is roasted malt, some dark chocolate, hints of dark fruit, semi sweet with some bitterness.
Good mouthfeel, quite the good 5.6% abv Stout.

Auch aus der Flasche ein Genuss und ein absoluter Klassiker. Gut ausbalanciert, es dominiert nichts, verhaltene Röstmalzaromatik mit viel Bitterschokolade, trocken, deutliche Bittere, erstaunlich vollmundig, der Geschmack bleibt ewig im Mund.
