Guinness Stout Draught Beer Review Summary

Branch out and dry a delightful dark beer say draft fans. Guinness is a mild but flavorful beer with hints of coffee, chocolate and molassas. "I could drink this all night," says a self proclaimed beer snob. While it's not a complex, robust dark, Guinness is a taste of the old country with a nice head and a nice flavor. It's a wonderful introduction to the world of draught beverages.

Pours solid black with brown highlights, and the trademark creamy white head with cascading nitro action. Aroma is of dark roasted malts, with slight chocolate and toffee notes; unfortunately, the aroma is pretty faint and tame. The taste is of roasted malts, bitter chocolate and some coffee, with tiny... review »

Guiness Shout is not my favorite beer, but in case I dont have my favorite I could drink it. I got use to drink it. I dont like the after taste and I think it taste a little like coffee, which I also dont like it. I'm impressive bottle technology, but I think it makes too much foam, I dont like foam...

When this draft (or draught) was put in front of me at a restaurant I could smell the slight sweetness of it. There wasn’t an alcohol odor which gives me the chills – in a bad way! The aroma was mild- another plus for me.

In front of me was a ¼ inch tan head. It lasted right up until the glass was empty. The head left a swirl of lace. This creamy beer had somewhat of a thick, milky texture with little carbonation.

Guinness is made with barley, water, hops and yeast. It was thick, rich, and heavy. I thought it easy to swallow; smooth and it left no aftertaste. In what might seem to be a...

I've been a fan of dark beers for many years and sampled quite a few. I find myself coming back to Guinness again and again.

I like the deep color and slightly molasses taste to the brew. I also find it to be a smooth beer... and it doesn't hurt that it's from the old country! I enjoy the fact that it has a creamy, substantive head to it.

On the practical side, many restaurants and bars stock Guinness, so I know that I will be getting a quality dark beer as opposed to one of those wimpy wannabe darks.

Also, great for getting a conversation started. I find that when I step up to the bar to order a...

OK, so this rich, dark brown, and somewhat heavy and syrupy tasting brew is not my first choice for a hot afternoon of yard work.   It is somewhat heavy, but I have found a fabulous use for Guinness stout, and there is at least one bottle as a staple in my pantry at all times.  (fortunately I have a liquor store that allows you to sample imported brews one or two bottles at a time)   Oh yeah, and hopefully folks are aware that alot of the Guiness we purchase in the US is actually brewed and bottled in Canada, and is not exactly the same in taste or texture as that which is actually brewed... review »

Normally I am a light beer drinker, but there is something about a pint of properly poured Guiness. It's smooth and comforting, the only downfall is that its heavy and I can only have 1 or 2 pints at a time. But I love the taste of it with a richer meal, I don't eat meat but my boyfriend does and he likes guiness with a good steak or a big hamburger. I even like it as an after dinner drink. The best is getting a 1/2 and 1/2, if your lucky enough to find a place the has Labacs Frenboise (sorry that's misspelled, it's French and raspberry flavored) on tap, get a 1/2 and 1/2 of that with Guiness,... review »

Is there such a thing as a bad pint of Guinness? I am a beer snob I suppose, but to call Guinness just a beer is such a put down. I am such a geek I am one of the first members of the 1759 Society and have my certificate hanging on my wall as if it was a diploma. I loves me some Guinness. Not only is it great to drink its amazing to cook with, especially when making stew! Don't let the fact it is a stout scare you away it not bitter only smooth and yummy. OK now I want one, anyone up to joining me at the pub?

When I first tried this brew i had the same reaction that most ppl do.  I found it to be too bitter for my liking.  But just a an aquired taste catches on.  The more that I drank it, the more that i liked it.  Now I wouldn't have any other beer.  I love the dark taste.

Very good. You can find it everywhere, even abroad. I have read that studies claim that Guinness can be beneficial to the heart. Researchers found that antioxidant compounds in Guinness, similar to those found in certain fruits and vegetables, are responsible for health benefits because they slow down the deposit of harmful cholesterol on the artery walls. Another excuse to drink it!!

I love this brand of beer by itself as a social drink,  or when having a meal of beef, or lamb. The taste of Guinness nicely complements both types of meats.

Guinness, like most British Beers, has a higher alcohol content than most beers from Oklahoma and therefore gives a quicker feeling of euphoria, without having to drink a lot of liquid. 

Guinness has a nice scent and head, and the taste is superior to most of the beers that I drink.  I am a fan of the mixed drink, Black & Tan, which is half Guinness and half Harp, and this drink is perfect for social events and eating in Bars and Grills. ...

I didn't try guiness until this last summer, when at an irish pub where the waiter claimed that guiness has less calories than bud light.  I told him there was no way, as heavy as it had to be.  He made me try it, and I was so glad it did.  Despite it's dark color, this beer is light and goes down easy, yet has the heavy taste of darker beers.  And the creamy head only adds to the goodness of this beer.  Delicious with irish food, of course, but also good in soups, breads, and reuben dishes!!!  Even better, when with a skilled bartender who can put the clover in the top!!!

I love to enjoy a good 1/2 & 1/2, which is Harp lager onthe bottom and yummy Guiness on top. St. Patricks Day is a perfect time to enjoy a nice cold Guinesswith a friend, in my case I love to hang out with my wife. We throw darts and drink Guiness. Make sure if you are out drinkind Guiness you do it reasponsably and have a desenated driver, taht Guiness can sneak up on you. Most of all have fun and make sure you are with people you care about.

I like dark beer and Guinness seems to have developed a perfect formula.  Nice stout flavor and it goes down smooth.  Oh top of all that the price (here locally any way) is very competative.  I think ballparks would do well by adding this great beverage to their concessions.  It seems to fit all ocasions. Standing at the grill, out with friends at a nice dinner and yes just sitting on the couch watching sports center while eating a bag of chips.
