Swirling clouds tumble as the storm begins to calm. Settle. Breathe in the moment, then break through the smooth, light head to the bittersweet reward.
Unmistakeably GUINNESS, from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop. And every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between.
Pure beauty. Pure GUINNESS.
Guinness Draught is sold in kegs, widget cans, and bottles. The ABV varies from 4.1 to 4.3%.
Guinness Extra Cold is the exact same beer only served through a super cooler at 3.5 °C

Copenhagen 6/4 2015. 44 cl can from Føtex, Mimersgade, Kbh. NV. The classic black can with the golden harp.
Dramatic sound effect from the nitro when opening. Pours muddy brown which separates into black beer with dense creamy white head.
Aroma is a bit subdued. Dark malts and a little saltiness - not much else.
Very soft and silky carbonation. Smooth.
Flavor is malty with a nice but not very distinct bitterness. Like lukewarm coffee (in a nice way). Fine Irish draught - in a can.

Poured from a 14.9 ounce can with a nitro pill. Pours dark brown with a light tan cap that flows up from the hard pour and remains through the experience. Aroma is very faint, roasted dark malt. Flavor follows the nose, dark malt. Feel is thick and rich, best asset of the beer IMO. Overall, an enjoyable experience.

I’m reviewing this based on the can. Must be poured correctly and if done so can mimic a Guinness poured on draft pretty well. I love it out of the can. Not sure what else to put… it’s a Guinness

It's hard to beat the look and creamy mouthfeel of the original nitro beer. Ultimately lacks a tiny bit in the flavor department when compared to Extra Stout.
