What happened! Over the past ten years (my drinking career) it seems as though this beer has been getting worse and worse. Guinness' were my first beers and they were fantastic. Now the inconsistent, anything but black color, and weak head are breaking my heart. The smell is gone and the smooth creamy taste is more of a metallic sip of tap water!? I loved this beer and feel personally wronged by those who have watered down this liquid tradition. The only remenant of the old Guinness is the way the nitro makes it feel when you drink it, but the mouthfeel simply can't stand alone.

The best beer there is, the only down side is low ABV

Pours creamy tan that gently releases under itself into a dark beer. Nose is creamy as is the taste. Smooth drinking, easy beer. Not great, but not horrible

One of the first beers I bought and drank legally about a decade ago. Almost certainly is the reason for my affection towards darker beers. I don't know if it tasted so good because I was drinking it in contravention to my school's rules against alcohol on campus, or if it was really that good. What I do know, is that it's one of the smoothest beers I've ever drank, with heavy chocolate notes. I should come back to this beer sometime.

In the absence of Foreign Extra Stout I take no real issue falling back on Guinness Draft Stout. It is a good smelling and tasting beer.

Look is black with a foamy white head. Smell is thin and inoffensive. Taste is light with smooth nitrogen cream. Feel is light bodied. Overall, a solid stout when you want something simple. Easily available and found at a good price for a stout.

Very good beer for a rainy day. Not over powering actually smooth. Has the traditional plastic piece inside I suppose to mix the nitrogen and flavors when ot’s opened. I wouldn’t drink a lot of these at one time, it should be more appreciated on the score chart because it is easily available, good tasting, and helpful to just relax on.
