I’m not going to give the bottles lower than 5 stars cause I just love Guinness that much. However, having said this, I would never drink bottled Guinness. This is just not where the party’s at. Whenever anyone says they don’t like Guinness, I know they haven’t had it on tap. Draft is the best way. Taking that first sip is as comforting and soothing as nice tight hug from a favorite person you haven’t seen in months. It’s the perfect cold weather beer. It’s like drinking coffee, only better. My next recommendation is if you’re not drinking draft, BUY THE CANS. This is the closest to draft it’ll taste. And for the love of god, don’t drink it out of the can. But wait! Don’t just pour. Drinking Guinness is an art and there’s a specific way to do it. Crack open the can, ... MoreI’m not going to give the bottles lower than 5 stars cause I just love Guinness that much.

Hubby love dark beer! It’s rich in iron and antioxidants the 500ml can of Guinness is only 210 calories. Rich, smooth creamy taste that is so refreshing. He also detect some notes of nuts such as almonds or cashews and with a hint of yeasts. A go-to for hubby. Details: This iconic beer is defined by its distinct and velvety character. Mahogany brown in colour with a creamy white head. Loaded with aromas of coffee, toasted malt and hops. Full and bold on the palate with a creamy texture and the same rich flavours, a delicate touch of bitterness adds pleasing balance to the finish.

First when they poured the beer into my glass the bubbles fell down. Now I'm no genius but I thought bubbles were supposed to rise! I tasted this beer and instantly regretted it. I will never ever get used to that kind of beer. I will rather stick with the "King of Beers" or the "Champagne of Beers"

Appearance: pitch black with cascading effect as the nitro-injection settles, it forms a perfect finger width, creamy, foamy, tight off-white head. It's sticks to the glass and the head consistency remains all the way to the bottom of the glass.Smell: Very pleasant aroma of sweet and roasted malts. Faint coffee-caramel note with a finishing of smoked malt.Taste: Silky smooth mouthfeel, creamy -- so much that I always find it difficult to not simply chug the beer in one gulp. The roasted malts give off coffee, slight chocolate and mild smoked flavors. Things dry up after this, then follows a watery-like floral hop flavor. There's a slight bite, for a brief second, that combines with a touch of roasted malt astringency. The unique roasted flavor carries through as ... MoreAppearance: pitch black with cascading effect as the nitro-injection settles, it forms a perfect finger width, creamy, foamy, tight off-white head.

Finishes with a delicate roasted and dryness.

Let's be realistic, everyone knows that a real Guinnes is served in a glass from the tap, at room temp with a head that you could rest a dime on. That is the only way you should be able to buy it. But corporations need to make money, etc and I get that. I tried the cans because they come with what I can only describe as a mini pressurized air canister inside that, when you open the can, releases air and mixed the liquid so when you pour, it's the closest thing you'll get to a tap. It comes out with a huge head and at room temp it's about as good as you'll get without being at the bar. I think it tastes slightly different not sure why but it's the same as Sam Adams Boston Lager when it's from a bottle... it just tastes different. Can't explain it.

This review is going out for my husband, who I say should just keep Stock in the GUINNESS company right now. 😆 lol. He loves Guinness Stout CANNED beer (only). It's the only 1 that he will purchase ALWAYS have on-hand, while trying a 6-pack of something else here or there. 😄 He even goes so far as to have Guinness pint glasses for his ice cold Guinness a few accessories here there. My son I always know what to get him for Father's Day his Birthday. I tasted the Guinness once told hubby, I thought it tasted like what motor oil "looks" like, lol. Guess it's not for everyone, but he loves it! Although, from another source, she told me that true drinking Guinness from Ireland, should be tasted "Luke Warm". Uh, no thanks. 🇮🇪 would be really ashamed! 😅

Great Stout

Not much of a drinker, and never really cared for beer. When I would go out with friends, I would order Guinness. It seemed to go with my taste for coffee, of all things, or that roasted flavor aspect of such things. What finally cinched it was actually going to Ireland and discovering how well it went with dinner(the food, both during, and after. That pretty much brings me to where I am today with it, since I don't drink soft drinks and usually just drink water with dinner. Now It's two Guinness per day, after supper. Perfect thirst quencher in that role. Absolutely love the stuff.The food in Ireland wasn't all that great, honestly. Sort of plain and unexciting. Kind of like mom's basic home cooking. I figure it's because of it just being a formality to get to ... MoreNot much of a drinker, and never really cared for beer. When I would go out with friends, I would order Guinness.

Pure Drinking Perfection

Nothing better in the wide world. Like mothers' milk to a baby. Big flavor with fewer carbs than a regular old Bud. To the naysayers, I say apples are not oranges, my friends. If you want higher gravity, if you want higher ABV, if you want additives muddying the taste of your barley, hops, and yeast - buy a different beer! Any 4.2% ABV beer is bound to taste "watery" compared with a 10% triple IPA. Why? Obviously, because it contains more water and less alcohol. But compare Guinness to another 4.2% beer like, say, Coors Light, and watery is the last word that would ever come to mind! Guinness Draught is smooth, flavorful, and refreshing. If you are after perfection, look no further. This is the real deal.
