had this at a party. Rated via mobile
A - Standard Guinness look minus the nitrogen induced bubbles
S - Guinness smell but with extra bitterness, extra malt bites and extra maltiness all around
T - Intense for a stout. Not well balanced but very strong on the entire tongue
M - Dry and roasted malts really make this beer linger for a while almost against your wishes
O - Drinkable abut I wouldn’t recommend it.

12oz bottle poured into an English Pint. Pours dark with about 2 fingers of dark tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee and grass. Taste is about the same. Overall, not bad. I think I dig this more than regular Guinness Draught.

12oz bottle. Surprised to see I had never rated this one. Ruby black, some light shines through the corners. Thinnish, patchy beige head. Dry, bittersweet chocolate aroma, some mild dark fruit. Roasty burnt chocolate tones. Some sugary Caribbean style lactic oatmeal tones. Faint pungency. I suspect the bottle is a little old, or the recipe and process are different. I remember really enjoying this beer 10 years ago, but I’m not so impressed with the current adaption

A damn sight better than Guinness Draught, Extra Stout was the beer I forced myself to like when I first started venturing outside of BMC. (The very first time I drank Extra Stout I was tripping on acid and kept getting confused why my beverage didn’t taste like root beer until I convinced myself it did.) There’s a nice, smoky richness to this beer, but it never develops past the initial imprint, leaving a bland, bitter finish to leave you frustrated. I’m sure this bottle is getting a couple points out of nostalgia, but, hey, I’m only human. Or a reasonable facsimile of. (08/08)

This stout poured a deep black colour with a big, tan, creamy head. T the nose there are scents of chocolate, caramel,smoke, roasty malts and a little hay. First swig was alot more carbonated than I was expecting. Not quite as smooth as the regular Guinness stout but packs a huge flavour punch non the less. Flavours of roasted malt, smoke, caramel and molassass are most prodominant with slight flavours of coffee and cereal come in after. Finish is burnt with smoke flavour lingering.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted dark malty. Thick, roasted and dark malty to liqourice. Lasting roasted and quite bitter flavoured. Ends dry roasted malty.

Bottle at Maria's Taverna, pours black with a tan head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt and some sourness. Flavour is very unpleasant acidity, some roasted malt and a stale character. This was quite vile.

Draught at Rocket Bar. Guinness does not seem to travel well, since this one is more bitter and acidic than its Ireland-borne uncle. Still nice enough, but I would encourage fans (and even non-fans) familiar with the US version to try the Irish version.

Bottle in a Brooklyn backyard. Poured dark brown with the typical deep, thick beige head. Strong roasted malt aroma, with dark chocolate and light, bitter coffee. Flavor starts sweet with loads of cocoa. Some dry, roasty bitterness hangs around. Medium bodied with smooth, soft carbonation. Finishes semi-sweet and roasty with lingering cocoa. Really good bottle. Seemed much better than I remember.

I picked this up in 6 pack form when my band played dekalb Illinois. Enjoyed while sitting on a ratty chair with some weird bear skinned rug behind me. It’s not bad, very creamy, kind of carbonated, hints of chocolate and roasted malt.
