Single bottle from Mariano's, as Guinness Antwerpen Stout. Pours a great big brown head over an opaque black body, but one with a bit of brown at the edges. Dutch cocoa on the nose, some coffee, and a hint of bourbon alcohol. Foam stays stiff, and has a bit of a roast coffee taste over the liquid part. Taste is rich with bitter chocolate and coffee, a bit of velvet texture. Alcohol is present, but remains in the background to warm me up as I drink it. Goes down very easily.

Deep brown to black. Ruby highlights. Huge beige frothy head. Eternal retention. Aroma: roasted barley, burnt sugar, dried fruit, a little strange plasticy note. Medium body. Flat carbonation. Taste: light to medium sweet malty start. Roasted, burnt sugar. Fruity mid. Hoppy ending. Pronounced bitterness. Well, quite tasty. The huge froth took away all the bubbles though.

Pours pitch black with a thick tan head. Aroma of oily malt and herbal resin. Taste has herbal elements, chocolate and ferrous elements. Heavy palate of earthy notes and bitter hops. Best Guinness.

Less than 12 oz bottle. My label says anterpen, get with it guinness!! Hate to have the same beer with 5 different names. no? Pour is beautiful. Looks lovely. Tobacco initial chocolate burnt flavors. Slight metallic nose. Volatile drink, alky is held out right where you can see it. Now it starts this arrogant attitude. Wants to catch you off guard. Each swig is mind numbing. In the end there is this craggy renmaining head floating around. Pretty good overall high alky beer experience. However, was hoping for a more civilized experience.
