Yes Guinness. Pours a Great Back with a very nice head. This is the Beer for me. The Blacker the better.

Bottled. It says "Canada" on the bottle, and there’s no widget, so I think this is what I’ve had. My sampler taster is foamy. Standard Guinness black body, probably not a big enough sample to catch the Guiness "cascade." The flavor is nicely soured but offset by driness. Thin coffee notes and a nicely warming roast. Very favorable.

Kind of a sickly dull amber colour, like Zhigulevskoye with head stabilizers. Complex aroma of acetaldehyde and fusel alcohol alongside fresh-picked corn. The taste is harsh with alcohol, various petrochemicals, sweet adjunct and other stuff that might have blown off if this crap was lagered for more than fifteen minutes. As clean as the bums who drink it.

bottle - To me this beer is very much like the draught, so I won’t repeat too much. I just taste a little heavier roasted malt and a little more bitterness. The widget in the draught does give a bit better appearance and palate. Both are good beers, especially impressive for a megabrewery.

Bottle. Sour malt and molasses aroma. Dark brown opaque with moderate head that collapses quickly. A sweet and sour molasses malt flavor with moderate carbonation. Moderate body. I decided to taste this along side the draught version (can with a widget). This version has more aroma and flavor; however the main difference is the level of carbonation - the draught version is completely flat whereas this one is fairly high - if you like it with a higher carbonation, buy this version but if you like it more like when it’s pulled, get the draught. Personally I like this version better.

bottle - This macrobrewery pale lager is pretty good for its type. Obviously that’s not saying much at all, but I’ll take it over most other fizzy, yellow, watery beer.

Dark gold colour with creamy white head. Corny aroma with little honey in aroma. Crisp amlt and adjuncts with sweet honey finish. Tin aftertaste. This sucks. Jan. 2005.

This dark beer is good, but I don’t like it as much as Guinness Draught. It’s nice and thick, just like it’s brother Draught, but the creamy head is missing, as is the flavor I long for. This one’s a bit on the bitter side, not overly, but enough. It’s a drinkable beer, but not something to drink on a regular basis.

I thought that this beer was alright. It was a little too dry for my tastes, but I can forgive that. A lot better than most macro brews.
