Guinness Extra Stout (Original) from Guinness Ltd.
Rating: B
Rediscovering this beer after a long hiatus during which I'd convinced myself that I preferred their draught. I have now revised that judgement.
Appearance: Brown head! Almost opaque, ruby tinting when held up to a light
Smell: Sweet nose, chocolate and roastiness
Taste: Tastes like it smells - roast, chocolate, coffee... hops comes in at the end to balance the malt and prevent an overly sweet, malty aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Not as creamy as their draught, but thick mouthfeel and a taste that sticks to your tongue - and your ribs!
Drinkability: Not a sessioner for me, personally. Too easy to fill up - a few of these is a meal! Stouts aren't my favorite style, but this went down pretty easy.
Serving type: bottle
