3.1 How: Bottle. Where: Steakhouse, Huddinge. Appearance: Dark brown colour with a tan head. Aroma: Caramel, roasted malt, a bit sweet. Body: Medium body and carbonation. Flavour: Caramel, roasted malt, a bit sweet.

2.3 Piana szybko znika

3.6 Bonne bière. Bon goût torifié. Un peu trop amer.

2.9 Pite jakiś czas temu. Ocena w celu uzupełnienia profilu. Dobre ale bez rewelacji

2.4 Honestly, if you've had a real Guinness in Ireland or had their draft can, this is really disappointing

3.3 Enjoyed: Poured from bottle into tulip glass. Appearance: Black colour, medium head which soon fades. Aroma: Roasted malt, gentle coffee and cocoa. Palate: Light to medium body, gentle oily, gentle but still crispy carbonation. Taste: Roasted malt, cocoa, gentle coffee, dark chocolate, bittersweet with gentle dry bitter aftertaste. Overall impression: Easy and drinkable; it’s a pity that aroma isn’t stronger.

3.0 Robe noir nuit, mousse brun clair, fine et crémeuse, un peu visqueuse, stable à 1cm, fine carbo abondante. Nez très léger, un peu de café, c'est tout. Attaque avec une amertume légère, cacao, pointe rôtie. L'amertume éclot en 2e bouche. Finale très grillée. Sympa sans plus, un peu basique.

3.4 Bottle, big bubbly head, dark brown with some reddish hues, sweetish toasty aroma with some chocolate cake maltiness behind, light to medium mellow roast bitterness, lightish sweetness, bitter chocolate and some light dark bread maltiness. Nice and enjoyable.

4.5 I was very hesitant to try this dark beer but is was delicious. It doesn’t smell great but it doesn’t stink.

3.5 I prefer this one to the Draught Stout, it is less watery and more tasty. The taste is more complex and complete. I don't understand why its ratings are lower than the Draught.

3.3 È la irish stout più famosa, non c’è molto da dire...Il colore è nero intenso e la schiuma è pannosa, intensa e color nocciola. Il profumo è quello tipico delle delle stout dominato dai malti tostati e dall’aroma di caffè. Il gusto è ben bilanciato e delicato, idem il corpo.

3.6 (bottle in Spain) - Aroma : Deeply roasted almost burnt dark malts, hints of caramel, chocolate, coffee, liquorice, a little earth & some fruity tangy sharpness...maybe gooseberry. Taste : Medium bodied. Classic dry stout in that it's predominantly dry & bitter/burnt dark roasty malty throughout. The subtle notes in the aroma are lost in the heavy roast. Never the less still excellent

3.2 330 ml botttle, continental Europe version. Murky black with mocha creamy head. Nordic liquorice, blueberry, coffee, citrus, slightly metallic, roasted burnt malt. Dry bitterness, some malty sweetness. Light bodied, watery texture, soft to lively carbonated, dry roasty finish. Good, but the nitro can version is better. Lacks also a bit in body.

3.4 Butelka 0,33 litra, zakupiona w markecie Albert w Běloves. Wypita 13.09.2020. Barwa ciemno-brązowa, nieprzejrzysta, z prześwitami pod światło. Piana średniej wysokości i podobnej trwałości, w kolorze beżowym, zostawia dużo sladów na szkle. Niezbyt mocny aromat, głównie kawy, trochę palonych słodów. W smaku umiarkowanie wytrawne, lekko kwaskowe. Przede wszystkim kawa, dalej palone słody, ciemna czekolada, odrobina kakao. Niska goryczka.

3.4 Appearance: black, lots of carbonation, creamy two fingers head. Aroma: roasted malt, coffee, some plums and raisins. Flavor: bitter, coffee, dark chocolate, black fruits, a bit sourish. Aftertaste: weak, traces of coffee. Overall Impression: quite good, well carbonated, refreshing. Better than the original Guinness Stout, more complex aroma, better taste.

4.5 Smakfull lättdrucken

3.5 Une autre variante de la Guinness. Sans la mousse à l'azote. Agréable comme plan b quand on a pas la draught à portée de main. Notes prononcées de chocolat et café.

2.8 0.33 l bottle from Vrutak. Shared with Vjeko 🦈. Dark brown, small beige head. Two weeks from Best Before, kept in the fridge in the store. Obvious oxidation, cardboard. Quite fruity, red fruit. Roasty aroma, burnt flavour. Fruit, carboard again, herbal notes. Some bitterness, mostly from dark malts. Soft but not very smooth. Light but lasting finish. Dry.

3.5 Guinness kannte ich lange nur frisch gezapft im Irish Pub, aber auch die Flaschenversion hat eine gewisse Bekanntheit und ihre Freunde. Mir kommt dieses etwas intensiver und dunkler vor als das gezapftes. Es ist schön voll im Geschmack, wenn auch etwas weniger samtig.

1.5 beer brewed in Russia at Heineken Brewery Black with good foam. (Not nitrogen) Nose. Dark euro lager) roast malt Taste. This is not a stout, it is more like a lager with roast malt extract. The finish has a lot of unpleasant bitterness. And faint chocolate and coffee notes.

2.5 Strong alcohol flavor but a bit watery. Wouldn’t buy again

2.8 The beer itself is good but only if you like strong and oscure beer, the taste of coffe its pretty obvious. Personally i dont like neither. But its clearly a good strong beer

3.7 Un dit d' espuma cremosa, retenció decent. Aromes de cafè, fum... Un clàssic de referència, i preu assequible!!

3.3 Dunkel mit beiger Schaumkrone, im Aroma Röstmalz, etwas Banane, Geschmack mittlere bis kräftige Bittere, kaum Säure und Süße, angenehm zu trinken mit deutlicher Kohlensäure

2.0 Suits, ploom, kohv on maitses. Tugev järelmaik.

3.1 God standard stout

4.2 Thick tan head, dissolves rather slowly. Black with red hues. Aromas of smoke, malt, coffee, unsweetened cocoa, plums, hops, caramel. Smoky, lightly salty, coffee-bitter. Turns into dark chocolate/cocoa with fruity undertones (plums soaked in rum come to mind). The finish is long-lasting, dry, sweet and reminiscent of Guinness Draught. Very interesting and decidedly drinkable alternative to the Draught.
