[1] Review by RJA from Palm Springs, FL, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (9/3/2008 3:37:50 PM)
"Guinness of course sets the standard for Stouts. There are representations of this style that are better, but Guinness Draught still holds it’s own. The body is characteristically black with a nitrogen charged tannish head. It is thinner than I’d expect though creamy. Toasted malt, chocolate and a faint hint of hops in the nose and palate. I have come to use the Guinness line for cooking and save the better stouts and porters for sipping. It really makes for a great flavoring in cooked foods. Great in chili. "

"Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle with a plastic covering and label into a pint glass.
Appearance: It has a dark opaque color with a supper aggressive light brown bubbling action that takes a minute to settle out. (Very cool!) After it settles it forms a thick, supper creamy, tan head. Its head is stiff, has great retention time and leaves light tan rings of lace on the glass.
Smell: The aroma is of fresh baked bread and barely malt.
Taste/Mouth feel: Its flavor is smooth and buttery with some mild toasted and bready notes. The palate is smooth and a bit thin with a light to medium body and mellow carbonation. The finish is rather dry with some hop bitterness.
Notes: Defiantly one of the most recognizable stouts with that sweet looking head and deep dark color.

"I love Guinness Draught and generally drink it whenever I can. The first thing to note is the creamy head and the dark dark red body (hold it up to light, it's not really black). It goes down so smooth, I often finish before I realize."

"Pours beautiful black with a nice creamy beige head and thick cream all down the glass. Aroma is roasted malts, coffee, chocolate. Flavor is coffee and some roasted malts. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, slightly dry finish."

"Great dark draught beer. Wonderful color and appearance, famous Guinness head, rich flavor... Not for the meek, or most first time dark drinkers. I enjoy this beer most when on tap, bottles and cans are still good. Best part is, most of my friends are Bud Light drinkers, so I never have to worry about them drinking all my beer! "
