Rock Bottom Arlington, VA tap: Pours a black color with a nitrogen head and the cascading carbonation. In short, it looks like a proper stout. Aroma and taste are, as others have noted, pretty close to Guinness. I suppose that was the point, and this beer succeeded in that regard. Like Guinness, it is very mild and light-bodied. Might actually be a little less bitter than Guinness. Overall, this was pretty good, but it was not incredible.

Had both draft and cask versions of this beer. I’ll rate the draft one. The beer poured a dark color with a creamy tan head. Creamy mouth feel is dry, sweet malt notes. Very similar in structure and flavor to Guinness. Highly drinkable, but pretty standard otherwise.
