Red color, with almost no head as usual to British/Irish beers. Very thick creamy-like stuff. The palate is extremely bitter.

I am very sorry, but i cant appreciate the taste of Guinness. I like coffee, and i like beer, but those 2 combined isn't my favorite. And that's exactly what i think Guinness is: thick, coffeelike 'beer', but i dont place this one in the beer category.

Reasonably malty; the one beer Guinness makes that they don't ruin with nitrogen.

Better than Caffrey's, but not as good as Smithwicks. One of the more respectable nitro-brews.

An lightly biscuity maltiness and touch of hop makes this one of the more acceptable internationl lagers.

I was more than pleasantly surprised at how pleasant this beer was to drink (I expected any non-alcoholic beer to be trash). Instead, it was smooth and tasted good - although not very interesting and ultimately was very middle of the road. Still, if you're gonna go NA, Kaliber is about as good as you can get.

Very dark ruby-brown. Thick tan head. Yes, they drew a frickin’ shamrock in it. I remember when this beer wasn’t so damn cutesy. Aroma? On a nitrotap? Hardly any flavour, either. Very watery, just a hint of roast, nuts and maybe vanilla. Artificially thick body. Tart, watery finish. You can’t even call this dry anymore - they’ve cut back the hops and the malt sweetness is much more in evidence as a result. Downgrade from 2.7 overall.

St. Lucia
Brewed by W&L. The Lucian version is the base extract blended with Piton and this characterizes the beer. The stout part is roasty, almost to the point of astringency. But the herbal Piton hops clash with the Guinness, rendering the beer borderline unpalatable. I’m pretty sure this is the worst FES I’ve had. 6-3-6-3-12 = 3.0
St. Kitts
Brewed by Carib. Near black; chocolatey, estery (cider) aroma; notes of vanilla, lots of malt, long, roasty but slightly stinging finish. 6-4-8-4-14=3.6
