This has great mouthfeel- smooth, very fine bubbles and foam. This compliments the lighter flavor profile of this stout compared to some of the more intense ones out there.

Always a great experience to slow pop a can, wait to not get a mess, quick pour into a pint glass, stand back and watch the magic of the settle. And then there’s the tinkle of the dongle in the empty can.,
Big gulp brings smoothness and flavor.
Overall - just fantastic!

Pours that classic black liquid straight from the tap. Then a perfect nitro head begins to form as you wait patiently you begin to get the Guinness flavor notes and as soon as it hits your mouth perfection.

This is my go-to drink, trying to go back and look at it in a new way.
Eyes: almost pure black, with a little bit of reddish brown when held up to the light. Almost as much head as liquid after pouring.
Nose: chocolate, coffee, caramel
Taste: similar to nose, mildly bitter
Feel: First few sips are mostly or entirely foam, after that, it's incredibly creamy and thick.

14.9oz can poured into a Pint glass.
Appearance is very dark brown and clear with ruby highlights and a half finger of off-white head.
Strength of smell is low. It smells like roasted barley, black coffee and milk chocolate.
Strength of taste is medium. The taste follows the aroma with less sweetness and a long low bitter finish.
Thickness of mouth feel is medium-low. It's watery, creamy, carbonation and astringency are low.
Overall, it's good and has a better feel on draft.

Lads this is my go to. Without a doubt one of my favorites, watching and waiting for the cascade to end and then enjoying that smooth, creamy refreshing black gold is always a treat. Good things come to those who wait!

From tap at irish pub in Nördlingen in Germany. Smells like Caramel Coffee. Perfectly balanced taste. Drinks like water. Carbonation makes for a very creamy amazing mouthfeel. From tap is significantly better than Guinness from a can.
