More carbonated than Guinness Draught, same coffee-like flavor, a bitter hint with a burnt molasses/ brown sugary kick. The trademark Guinness head is a slightly more brownish color.

A dark flavor with bitter notes. A roasted coffee flavor gives it texture on top of texture feel, yum.

Slightly sour/bittersweet aftertaste. Beautiful color. Decent stout, but I prefer Guinness Draught.

I love the extra kick - I could drink these all day. A little known fact, this was the first beer of my 100 tour. Put that up on the trivia page someone is assembling about me.

Very dark and rich with espresso colored head, with nice warm finish on tongue and stomach from high ABV. Bittersweet chocolate and bitter espresso and burnt raisin flavor. Slightly sour/bittersweet aftertaste. Decent stout - but not my favorite from Guinness. The wife tastes ample notes of beef jerky and dog food, but would still drink it under desperate circumstances! She is pregnant - so there are plenty of those temporary moments of crazy desperation!

Almost pitch black with a remarkably huge, latte thick cocoa colored head. Aroma is rich chocolate and espresso, basic stout. Flavor is sweet up front, then rolls from chocolate to deep coffee and tobacco. Off-dry, and very good chilled. Good luck finishing a second one!
