I was some what disappointed with the over all flavor and texture of this product... Guinness Drout is a much better choice in my opinion

Great stout. It maybe the most famous stout to exist, remember there is a good reason why!!

Good if you drink it slow and don't down it.

MMMMMMM........Guinness. Smooth taste, strong flavor, it makes me happy. Besides, most people cannot drink stouts, so you don't have to worry about people stealing your beer.

Did not like at first. But I like it bests of all now.

I love Guinness Stout! Despite having a thicker consistency than an ale or a light beer, it is actually lower in calories than some other beers. It has an almost coffee-ish and chocoate-y undertone. It is smooth and should be served after the head has completely formed. I hear in Ireland they actually pour it in such a way that a shamrock appears on the top. As you drink it, the head should leave lines around the perimeter of the glass with each sip (says my friend who studied abroad in Ireland).

i love it, but its better in ireland

 Have revisited Guinness  Stout and the Draught version. Both brewed in Canada for the US market are both very good Stouts. Both are on the lighter side of the spectrum compared to many Stouts on the market. I slightly prefer the Draught version.

Best served at room temp (well, if you live in Ireland or northwest US) w/a thick creamy head and in a glass or bottle, not a can. MAJOR difference between what you get in Dublin and what is available in the US. In Ireland it has a hint of heavy sweet/bitterness and flows down your throat like the Shannon River on a warm day. Unfortunately, what we get in the US has lost the gentle sweet thickness and has been replaced with something reminiscent of a pinch of rubbing alcohol. It still has character if you can ignore that 'off-ness'. Actually, you really do have to pay attention to that first swallow to detect it, but if you've never been to Ireland it really doesn't make any difference ... There's a reason the Irish have been drinking it for 250 years!

I don't think you can go wrong with a Guinness. The trend is now to drink it really cold, but you'll get the most out of the flavor if its 'cool' and not 'cold'.

Ah, sweet nectar of the gods. When I drink this I see this as proof that life is good. Birds are singing, children are laughing and the sun is shining down on me. I like to save it for special occasions to make them even more special.

he aroma was great, the appearance was lovely, the flavor of the beer almost made me vomit, yet I continued to drink because I thought it would get better pitty me.

A beer that sticks around, on your tastebuds, in your stomach, in your memory, and on your ass. It is a meal in a glass and a fine lunch. Lots of body, thick and rich, its not your hot summer day thirst quencher, it's your friend.

A properly drawn Guinness Stout is one of God's greatest gifts to man!

In a very small cup.. slowly sipping.

My go-to brew when everything else on tap sux. It's also good for you: an excellent antioxidant, low in calories (something like 120 per 12 oz.), and lower in alcohol than regular ales (4%). I also heard somewhere that it's healthful for lactating women, but you breastfeeders better confirm with your doctor.

One of the mothers milks of PURE JOY.
Do not buy the EXTRA STOUT made in Canada, doesn't taste even close to the best brewed in Ireland

Just can't drink it when SC plays Notre Dame...

Anyone who knows good beer knows that Guinness is crappy. I'll give it the "tradition" factor, but the truth is there are a ton more breweries in Europe that are older than St. James Gate. If you want a real UK Stout, try Samuel Smith's oatmeal stout. Also to anyone who thinks stouts "drink like a meal" there is only one more calorie per serving in Guinness than Miller Light, so anyone who thinks it's heavy is either a puss, or just has no idea what there talking about.

To be fair, it's the father of all stouts.  It's best drank in Ireland though, it really doesn't travel all the well.  Find a great old pub somewhere in Dublin, and sink a pint of the black stuff and you won't be disappointed.   Remember though, a good pint of Guinness goes down really well, and you won't be able to have only one!

Maybe one day!

Yeah baby

Amazing! Love it!

Hmmm....dont think I would like it....I dont like Guinness

Aye, gimme a pint!

um... I pass

If you're going to drink a Guinness, do so on an empty stomach...and don't make any plans. More of a meal than a beverage.

Good stuff

Great tasting and funny marketing tequniques!!!

Saw more Guinness being served last night than any other night in my normal hangout. Too strong for me but better than some of the other stouts out there.

Extra Stout cold from a bottle at home, or Draught hand-pulled  from a tap in a bar. I never get tired of the taste. I've drunk the extra-stout  warm, and it's still pretty good. There's not too many beers you can say that about. If I has to pick only one beer to drink, this would be it.

I like Guinness, but it's just a little too thick for my liking on a regular basis. I do like a good stout on occasion, but when I do I prefer a smaller micro brew, and I want it from the tap, not a can or bottle.

This is what beer should be.  I mean, its virtually unchanged since the mid-late 1700s.  Dark, full of flavour, good with food (or a supliment for food).  A true mans beer, not for sissies that cant handle a beer with alot of taste.

People who like this beer _really_ like it. To me, it tastes a little too much like mud.

Cheers!!

One of my favorites. Black and tans are always on my radar.

Yuuummmyyy...the chocolate milk of beer

Perfection!

Any beer that takes minutes to pour properly can't be all bad. Thick, creamy, with chocolate/coffee notes. And it's not nearly as carb-heavy as you might expect from its strong flavor and robust texture. I'll have another pint, please!

Great!

Amazingly, it tastes almost as good out of those cans with those crazy CO2 things inside.

An original beer with an original flavor and texture.

a while ago i stated that this was the worst beer i had ever tasted. my tastes have changed a great deal and i very much enjoy this beer now. guinness draught is better, but stout is tasty

Ahhh, Guiness! If I can't go to Ireland at least I can drink Guiness and dream!

I agree with most on this, Draught is better then Stout.  But either way you go it's still Guinness and beats just about everything out there.  If you can find it on tap.....never leave.

Guinness is so over rated. It has no flavor. Everyone says what a strong beer it is. It actually has less alcohol than even most light beers!

better than milkshakes

It must be draught. The stout does not finish as smooth, and has a bit of a bite. both are good beers, but the draught is much better.

This is the Irish Stout.  Love it or hate it, there are no apologies either way.

Guinness is the best beer there is. If you rate it 1, and brag about your light american lagers, you don't know beer. Budweiser is not beer, it is clydesdale piss.
