Delicious beer. For a macro brew this has a lot of flavor. Great carbonation. Could be fuller bodied. The heaviness of the beer suits me well.

If you want a beer to take you back to Ireland this is the one. I can imagine drinking this in an Irish Pub every time I drink it. It is key for the bar tender to know how to pour the draught the right way which does take time. It is so smooth and easy to drink. This is the beer I drank for my 21st birthday. I had great memories with good friends and a mug of this beer.

15 Oz Can poured into glass
Look - Dark brown color. Takes a while for the tan foam to settle, some lacing on glass.
Smell - Similar to a hot chocolate. Some creamy coffee and believe it or not jelly beans
Taste - A lot lighter body than i was expecting. Watery roasted malt. Certainly creamy characteristic maybe that is the nitro. The bitterness from the roast is there but i wouldn't call it bold. Easy to drink, low-medium carbonation.
It's not bad i was just expecting a more fulfilling robust beer. Tastes like 50% water, 50% stout. It may serve as a good session beer but i don't want this kind of flavor over and over again. I will give this beer a grade of B

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Nice head. Not as much lacing as I remember from the pubs. It smells the same but tastes watered down. Not the same mouthfeel at all. Like a soft drink. What did Diageo do to Guinness???!
