Guinness
Antwerpen Stout

Another offering from that 2017 mixed 12 pack. Again, I suppose this must be old, but to be honest there aren't any/many signs of age. Perhaps the head retention was poor, but outside of that, no oxidation and it drinks just fine. Jet black body...

200th Anniversary Export Stout

200th Anniversary
Export Stout

11.2 oz bottle from a mixed 12 pack. I purchased this a few months ago (late 2022) and I know the beer was original brewed in 2017 for the 200th anniversary of exporting to the US, but TBH it didn't give an impression of being that old, either from...

Guinness Black Lager

Guinness Black Lager

Brown with reddish highlights. Pitted, frothy tan head. Head fades badly with little or no lace. Nose has some mid-caramel notes and not much else. The body here is quite thin but the tastes definitely have some of the typical Guinness roast,...

Guinness Foreign Extra Stout

Guinness Foreign Extra Stout

A classic, pictured 05/26/23 Original notes 09/26/10 12 oz single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA. This beer was not available in the USA until relatively recently (last few months) when Atlanta became one of the test markets before a wider launch...

Smithwick’s

Smithwick’s

Pictured, 12/14/23 at Deer park Irish Pub, Fort Wayne, IN. Original notes 08/28/10 12 oz bottle as part of a six pack. Body is a rather impressive brown/red with an excellent creamy head and some superb lace. Surprisingly good. Nose yields a big...

Guinness 250th Anniversary Stout

Guinness 250th Anniversary Stout

$5.00 for the pint at Taco Mac in Douglasville, GA, USA. Maybe a difficult beer to give an objective shake to, given that "normal" Guinness is the inevitable reference point. Pour was jet black but with a much smaller, wispier head than "regular"...

Guinness 250th Anniversary Stout

Guinness Extra Stout (Original)

I suppose much of this is redundant as it's been said hundreds (299 to be exact) of times before, but here goes anyway. The classic jet black pour with a suprisingly rocky tan head. Lots of air in the head, making it frothy and not at all dense....

Guinness 250th Anniversary Stout

Harp Lager

100% forgettable. Simply characterized as a standard lager, slightly above the quality of most North American macros, but lost in that sea of mediocrity that lies between those American domestics and the quality European lagers. Appearance is OK...

Guinness 250th Anniversary Stout

Guinness Draught

Ahh, Guinness. Probably the single most varied experience depending on location and serving type out of any beer worldwide. And that's the problem with this stuff - the search for consistency. In this particular case (the "draught" nitro bottle) we...
