Description
The name of our brand, Guineu, means fox in Catalan. This small mammal, common in our lands, has to be cunning to survive.

At Cervesa Guineu we understand beer as a product made with passion, which needs to be looked after from beginning to end. Our main premise is having absolute respect for our ingredients and natural brewing process. Craft beer means to explore, to surprise the palate with new and different nuances.

Located in an early 20th century building, in the textile colony of Valls de Torroella in the Barcelona province. Our brewery stands by the Cardener river. At present, our premises have a total area of 750m2, where the whole process of creation of our beers takes place. It all begins with an initial idea, followed by the design and creation of each recipe, until we actually brew it and finally package it. All this to offer you the finest possible product.

From tap at Het Klooster, Delft. Aroma is sweet roasted malt, lots of dark chocolate, mocha, caramel fudge, coffee, chocolate brownies, and a little alcohol. Flavour is quite sweet with a roasty bitterness. Body is full. Heavy and sticky dessert Porter, on the sweet side with a hint of booze. Good!

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is dark malt with a hoppy touch, notes of dark fruits, some chocolate, caramel and coffee. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and bitter. Body is medium. Did not expect this to be as fruity as it is.

Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 16D). Bottle 33 cl - Batch 1681 (BB: 02/2026). AROMA: initial medium-low metallic note that fades. medium to medium-high dark malts with notes of dark chocolate, slight coffee and roasted grain. medium-low sweet background giving it a slight coffee-and-cream profile. low hop citrus-like note. APPEARANCE: very dark brown color with slight ruby highlights. medium-low beige head with medium-low retention. TASTE: initial medium-low roasted malt (dark chocolate) followed by low citrus-like hops. the tasting evolves into a medium-high burnt flavor with medium-high bitterness and a dry finish. MOUTHFEEL: medium to medium-low body with medium-low to low carbonation. slight astringency. OVERALL: a stout with good notes but with an excessive burnt character.

Pillo una copa Edimburgo y la coloco sobre un posavasos, a continuación trato de atinar a colocar la aguja del tocadiscos sobre la canción "Funky worm", del album "Pleasure", de Ohio Players, - 'She's here, Mr. Johnson'-...me tomo unos segundos para leer la etiqueta antes de descorchar la botella, apenas comienza a sonar el solo del sintetizador ARP ya empiezo a percibir el aroma de las primeras notas de lúpulo mientras sirvo la copa...
Color ámbar con notas anaranjadas al trasluz, espuma blanca poco retenida. Aroma resinoso y herbal con ciertas notas cítricas y de madera. En boca es ligera de cuerpo, potente y amarga de principio a fin, un amargor profundo, seco, duradero, herbáceo y resinoso con notas de pomelo, mandarina y destellos varios de heno y paja...Una IPA americana en toda regla, muy buena cerveza
