Bottle. Wow cold brewed! thanks for telling me bottle. I apreciate Diageo’s attempts to diversify to non traditional styles but the marketing on this was embarrasssing. It’s ok though.

Draft. Like a combo of a sweet stout and a regular G. Pours brown w/minor head, some chox and coffee. Relatively enjoyable.

Pours dark dark brown/red with lots of head. A little nutty, hoppy, and malty with a clean finnish. Not bad.

Nothing like a guinness served at the proper temperature (not too cold). It’s almost a category into itself apart from beer. Finding a good pint is easier said than done - a lot of establishments pour out a rancid spew becuase they don’t clean their taps or keep the kegs ice cold. Look for an irish-owned & run place that pays close attention to its kegs.

A 500ml bottle. Amber colour with a off white head. Aromas of grapefruit, spice & pepper. Nice level of medium hops with hints of rye, leading to bread in the finish. Decent & better than expected.

Old rating from 09-11-15 - 500ml bottle, pours a dark amber colour rather than golden, with a white head. Aromas of bread, biscuit, caramel malts. Tastes of caramel with malty biscuit and a mild bitterness. Aftertastes of mild bitterness and not much else. Overall a pretty average drinkable English style bitter.
