First Rating a couple of years ago:Not my favorite style of beer. It is pretty dull actually.Widespread because there’s a Irish Pub in every godforsaken place around the world.

Second rating:
On tap at the Guinness Storehouse. The best Guiness I ever tried. Coffee , cocoa, roasted malts. Perfect body.Delightful

Couldn't replicate the experience in several pubs in Dublin. The beer seemed a bit too watery and with some metallic taste.
Even in some pubs renowned for pouring the best Guiness in Dublin the beer was like that.
Outside Guinness Storehouse maybe the best Guiness was in some pub near Google headquarters and in that big red tourist trap pub in Temple Bar.

Old rating from 12-04-16 - 330ml bottle. Pours a golden colour with a white foamy head & lively carbonation. Aromas of grain & malt. Tastes of much of the same especially malt. A fair amount of malt & hops in the aftertaste. Overall not terrible, but then not something I have a second off.

Pours black into a pint glass. Tan head with excellent retention does not recede. Roasted malt and chocolate aromas. Soft and thin with charred chocolate and bitter earth upfront turning to bitter roots and tangy citrus in the lasting finish. Quite good, but becomes sour and unpleasant as it warms.
