323ml can. Pours pale. Bread, sulfur, a fair chunk of chalkiness, something a touch citrusy. Not good, even by pale lager standards.

(Can) Pours clear pale gold with small white head. Aroma is neither appealing nor offensive - cereal / bread with citrus notes.Medium body with reasonable carbonation. Taste is pretty awful. An unpleasant artificial bitterness combined with an alcohol bite with little to balance or moderate it. There's a little grainy malt, and in the mid palate some syrupy sweet hints. Very unpleasant (lets see if red curry chips will mask it).

(Can) Pours black with reasonable tan head. Pleasant aroma - dark roast malts, coffee with hints of ginger and lemon - all a bit subtle really. Nice mouthfeel, medium bodied, smooth and creamy. Taste is much better than I was expecting, in fact it's pretty good. The typical stout tastes are there but downplayed and softened a bit, so there's a balance of dark malts, dark toffee and burnt sugar bitterness. There's also some vanilla, and hints of ginger and maybe lemon(grass). Surprisingly nice.

(Can) Pours clear amber brown with short-lived loose white head. Lemon aroma. Light bodied and fizzy. Nice lemonade taste - good lemony flavour, not too sweet, and sweetness has malty hints. It's not beer, it's barely shandy, but for what it is, it is pleasant enough.

(Can) Pours black with short lived, loose, tan head. Pleasant albeit rather subtle aroma of dark roast malts, coffee and candy. Medium body with rather fizzy carbonation. Taste of dark toffee / treacle, burnt sugar bitter notes, back coffee hints. It's not the original Guinness, it's not great, but it is drinkable.

330ml bottle found in Hong Kong. Hurrah for the Malaysia tick! Pours black with a big fluffy tan coloured head. Aroma is treacle, cream, brown sugar. Taste is medium sweet, coffee, dark bread. Enjoyable, even more so since it’s from a majority Muslim tropical country.
